About Our Charter Boat

We run a 2023 31ft Twin Vee powered by twin 300hp Suzuki outboards — a stable, fast, and sea-worthy catamaran hull built specifically for offshore and diving. The wide beam provides a stable dive platform, and the dedicated dive ladder makes re-entry easy even after a deep third tank. The boat is equipped for Nitrox fills, holds a maximum of 6 divers, and is operated by a Coast Guard-licensed captain on every trip.
