What to expect Again, this is a boat and space is limited. We have two dogs on board so be prepared for dog hair. We have a limited amount of water on board. Showers should be a “Navy Shower”. Although it is a boat, we have all the creature comforts that you will find at home. (dishwasher, trashcompactor, toatser, microwave, refrigerator, ice maker, plenty of electrical plugs, Satelite TV, DVD, Stereo, ect.) You will however be in a very confined space with other people. If this is a problem don’t come. Absolutly no smoking is allowed on the boat. Hopefully, you will enjoy the experience by boat as much as we do. Travel by water is a very enjoyable experience. We do not go fast. Top speed on our boat is 10 knots. We average about 8 knots. Weather is always a factor. We can not control the weather and it can drastically affect our plans. Make sure you have flexible arrival and departure plans. You are welcome to do as much or little on the boat as you would like. We always welcome an extra hand in maintenance, galley duty, navigation, and watch duties. We do require all children to wear life jackets if outside while underway.
