With space for up to 13 guests, this intimate charter is perfect for private sightseeing, relaxed canal tours, celebrations, or laid-back days on the water. Powered by a reliable 225 HP Detroit Diesel 671 inboard engine, she cruises comfortably at up to 12 knots, ideal for smooth, scenic journeys rather than rushed trips.

Relax across multiple spaces, including a bow sundeck, bathing platform, and shaded bimini area. The layout includes a cozy cabin, one berth, a kitchen, and onboard bathroom facilities for added convenience during longer outings.

Captain Richard Carvalho brings extensive experience in canal boat tours, sightseeing cruises, and yacht excursions, ensuring a smooth, knowledgeable, and welcoming experience from start to finish.

Safety and navigation are fully equipped with GPS, radar, sonar, depth finder, chart plotter, VHF radio, anchor system, bow thruster, wheel steering, and life jackets for all guests.
