SPACIOUS & SPEEDY
This spacious catamaran can cruise comfortably at the speed of 14-knots.

All cabins are located on the main deck. For your relaxation hours you find a comfy lounge with TV and DVD player plus video editing area. The interior dining area with two large tables with seating for 24, beverage dispensers with soft drinks and beer, plus icemaker. Three outdoor tables offer seating for 12 and here you also find the BBQ grill and griddle, hammocks and 10 sun loungers.
The bar area offers soft drink and beer on tap, two ice makers and bar stools. There are three different beers from a Bahamian micro brewery on tap. The crew also mixes up frozen rum drinks for those who have finished diving for the day. At meal time there is an informal atmosphere and a chance to get to know your fellow guests. Dinners have a choice of main entrees with a variety of meat and vegetarian options. The chef will accommodate special menus such as vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free with prior request.
