The tour boat fleet consists of several vessels, including U.S. Coast Guard-certified vessels, designed to accommodate everything from intimate private cruises to large group tours to explorer the area, ensuring a safe and memorable experience for all.
Our fleet includes 40′ Coast Guard Certified pontoon boat “MISTY,” 27′ Coast Guard Certified skiff “ISLAND BREEZE,” and 2024 brand new 24′ skiff. All of our tour boats are guaranteed to get you to the best areas (see photos).
A Coast Guard Certified vessel undergoes stability tests, periodic inspections at various phases of construction, continuous hull inspections & annual safety inspections by the U.S. Coast Guard. The boats have met plan approval, passenger weight regulations and construction phase observations by the Coast Guard. Certified vessels are held to a higher standard for passenger safety.
The 40′ vessel “MISTY” is Coast Guard Certified for 49 passengers. The boat was designed and built as a high speed catamaran, to be very sea worthy and has twin engines for speed and reliability, a large top and a restroom. This tour vessel is wide and provides a smooth ride. It is very spacious and the boat sits up higher off the water which allows great views of wildlife and scenic vistas. Other boats also have a canopy for shade.
In addition to modern safety equipment, Coast Guard Certified vessels are operated by a licensed “Master” captain. U.S. Coat Guard Certification also requires a crew member. The chief captain has also worked on these waters as a boat captain starting way back in the mid 80’s, has operated boats in the Pacific and is the unquestionable pioneer of Pony Watching in these areas by boat.
