The boat is inspected and maintained regularly. The 35 hp diesel inboard motor is more than adequate for Oceanside coastal cruising, and chasing schools dolphin.

What Can I Bring?

You are welcome to bring a snack or beverage, favorite CD, binoculars and of course your camera. For overnight charters we suggest a private meeting dockside a day prior to departures to discuss other provisions.
