Step aboard Memory Maker, Kokomo Yachts’ Aquila‑class power catamaran, a wide‑beam 50' platform built for smooth, social yachting. The boat’s four distinct entertaining spaces — flybridge lounge, forward bow seating, shaded aft cockpit and climate‑controlled salon — make it equally suited to sunbathing on the bow, shaded dining aft, or retreating indoors as the Florida coast unfurls. Charters are offered in 4, 6, or 8‑hour blocks and typically combine cruising Sarasota Bay, anchoring at a sandbar, and watching for dolphins.

THE VESSEL

Spacious, Stable Catamaran for Social Cruising

Memory Maker’s twin‑hull Aquila design and expansive 22' beam deliver a remarkably level, comfortable ride. The layout spreads guests across four distinct areas — flybridge, forward bow lounge, aft cockpit and a climate‑controlled salon with galley — allowing both communal moments and quiet corners during a charter.

THE EXPERIENCE

Balanced Days of Cruising and Relaxation

Half‑day charters concentrate cruising, sandbar time and wildlife watching into a compact itinerary, giving groups the chance to anchor in calm coastal anchorages, swim from the swim platform, and spread out across the boat’s seating and lounging areas.

THE WATER

Sarasota Bay, Sandbars and Dolphins

Typical outings keep to Sarasota Bay and nearby coastal waters, stopping at popular sandbars for anchoring and relaxation and running routes that offer opportunities to observe local dolphin activity and coastal scenery.

What the day feels like

How a Half‑Day Feels

A 4‑hour outing on Memory Maker is deliberately paced: a comfortable cruise across Sarasota Bay with elevated flybridge views, a relaxed anchorage at a sandbar for swimming and lounging, and time for spotting dolphins as you return. The boat’s multiple gathering areas let different moods coexist — sun, shade, dining or air‑conditioned respite — so the group shapes the day rather than the other way around.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this charter suits — and who should plan differently.

Celebration GroupsWith roomy social spaces and flexible layouts, Memory Maker is well matched to small celebration groups and parties within the 13‑guest maximum.
2
Families & FriendsFamilies and friend groups seeking a relaxed half‑day with sandbar time, swimming and wildlife viewing will find the multiple seating areas and swim platform particularly accommodating.
3
Corporate OutingsThe boat’s shaded cockpit, salon dining and stable ride make it suitable for corporate gatherings and small team events.
