Owned by Howard and Michelle, who run Danforth Yachting, this is a stunning, large ocean-going catamaran. It can be chartered for longer trips up and down the lake, and also for short trips close to the bay. This is an amazing boat – 38 feet long and almost as wide, with plenty of space inside and outside and a dive balcony at the back. State of the art controls mean the boat can be used as a sailboat or cruise under engine power.
Fully fitted out with a kitchen, two bathrooms and sleeping eight in four double berths, the yacht can cater for large groups who want to get away from it all. Excellent diving equipment is available and the yacht is equipped with a diving platform. Howard (the owner) skippers the yacht with ease, although he's not averse to letting the odd client try their hand!
