The boat

Cruise Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater and surrounding water ways in style aboard this 2023 Yamaha 252SD! Enjoy the premium JL audio sound system while hanging out on the swim deck or in the water at one of many sandbars in the area. Bring the party with you! With room for 11 passengers and plenty of storage space, nobody gets left at the dock. In water seating, cooler, head and a fresh water shower are also available on board. This is a Jet Boat, meaning there are no engines or props hanging from the back of the boat, making it safe to swim from the transom. This feature also makes it safer for marine life. Tubes and other water activities available on request
