Hi there. Does the boat offer any shaded or covered spots if you want to not be in the direct sun the entire time?

June 23, 2018|

AnswerShow all 3 answers

Thank you for your question! We have many options for shade throughout the boat. Upon request, the crew can create a completely shaded area in the front by draping a piece of fabric over the jib line.
