We are limited by our federal law to a total of 6 passengers, regardless of size or age, and there must be a Type 1 PFD for every passenger we carry. By Mass. law, all children 13 and under must wear a Type 1 PFD while on board. However, circumstances may arise where we do not carry every combination of sizes of Type 1 PFDs for your group (youth, infant, adult). So any child 13 and under wearing their own Type 1 PFD ONLY is eligible for a free roundtrip when accompanied by an adult. We reserve the right to refuse to take on passengers who do not, in the opinion of the captain of the vessel, conduct themselves safely to themselves, other passengers and the vessel.
We will try to remain flexible as conditions change. If you would like to know more, please let us know. And follow our FB page and other social media (see links below) to learn more about us!

Cool. New tool for navigation. Installing autopilot and discovered the retailer sent a version with one missing component. So we're waiting on their overnighting it and doing other maintenance. I am gathering a wish list of everything I feel Bobcat needs after 2 weeks running it. Some tasks I can do, others need expert attention. Approaching Pensacola, the sun and water got their act together at last. Do we have to make reservations at the Quality Waffle House? Do I get to smell the cap of the syrup bottle before tasting? Are the pictures on the linen menu drawn in ink? ICW. Narrow and still. Dauphin Island didn't want to let me go. As soon as the winds calm down enough for me to be able to pull out safely, lost reverse. Since I'm headed to Pensacola with a million boat yards around I figured it was better to just keep going out of the harbor as long as I could go forward. This place is pretty sweet, especially for the price. If I didn't have to get going to Pensacola, I'd spend a week here. Bob Voyage, at your service. New Year's Eve dinner after a long passage to Gulfport: seafood pasta - Gulf shrimp, crawfish, portabella mushrooms and seasonings, tossed with linguini and creole Alfredo. Topped with lump crabmeat and Parmesan cheese. (With a side of grilled asparagus).
