The Boat

Vigilant Boston Whaler in Little Bay in Anguilla

"VIGILANT" is a Boston Whaler Offshore.

She is 30 feet long and just over 10 feet wide. It is the perfect size for scuba diving adventures.

Powered by two 225 hp Yamaha four stroke outboards, she has a lot of power and reliability, and is very quiet. She has a "walkaround" cabin that can keep gear secure and dry. She is equipped with fresh water shower/washdown.

Safety and navigation are with a Garmin GPS, Furuno radar, and two marine radios.
