Quick Details
Charter this boat and BYOB for a wonderful tour of Casco Bay and the islands. You may enjoy a 2-hour sightseeing excursion, or for additional expense, reserve for a longer journey, or we can even shuck oysters on board for you! It will be just your private party with the Captain!
Pictured in the photo, the boat is a 28 ft. GRADY-WHITE SAILFISH. Named the FULL DECK, this is a traditional express cruiser with a large open cockpit aft, a helm deck midship and a walk-around cuddy cabin forward of the helm. Though we will typically limit our total number of passengers and crew to six, the open cockpit area aft of the helm can accommodate seating of five passengers, while the helm seats the captain and one crew/mate. Two people may sit on a cushioned seating area on the bow above the cuddy stateroom when the vessel is not underway.
The cuddy cabin is a single stateroom design with equipment storage, a sleep/rest area, a small galley with sink, fridge and single burner stove. For your comfort there is an enclosed bathroom compartment with a flushing marine toilet and sink. The water system is pressurized with both hot and cold running water. There is always at least one cooler aboard containing bottled water and ice.
The FULL DECK is fully equipped with all required rescue equipment and personal floatation devices. For safe operation and navigation, she is also equipped with a marine radio, GPS chart plotter, depth-sonar, radar, and proper lighting.
Your Captain: The FULL DECK is owned and operated by Marty Leighton, a life-long mariner/boater holding valid a US Coast Guard issued, Merchant Mariner Credential as a Master Captain (with a 25-ton rating) for all US inland and near coastal waters out to 100 nautical miles. Captain Leighton is also Red Cross certified to provide first-aid and CPR. (As an aside bit of trivia, Captain Leighton also happens to be a self-employed Biomedical Engineer.
If interested in enjoying oysters on board, an additional guide will accompany your group and serve as a shucker to you.
