Cruise Review

The perfect vessel for relaxed and convivial exploration of the coast. Built in Florida in 1988 specifically for coastal cruising and certified by the U.S. Coast Guard, this flies the American flag and is staffed by friendly and experienced American officers and crew. 257 feet long, 43 feet wide, with a draft of 8 feet, she is able to maneuver in secluded waterways and visit small ports that are inaccessible to larger vessels.  In addition to a large sun deck, she boasts a spacious lounge for social gatherings and lectures as well as quiet space for private conversation.

The ship’s cuisine, served in a dining room large enough to accommodate all guests at once, emphasizes regional culinary traditions and specialties. Both the lounge and dining room are surrounded by large picture windows that afford unobstructed views of the passing scenery. Accommodating 138 guests in 69 exterior cabins, this ship enjoys an atmosphere of warm and relaxed informality that endears it to repeat and new guests alike.

SMALL-SHIP AMENITIES

Returning from excursions, guests enjoy complimentary refreshments, afternoon tea and all-day coffee in The Lounge, a gracious space for relaxation, surrounded by panoramic windows. Before or after dinner, cocktails are served to live music performed by the ship’s pianist.
