What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

Board with a crew of friends, take the tritoon out into Lemon Bay and let the stereo and steady Yamaha outboard set the pace; the boat’s layout and Bimini encourage drifting, anchoring off a sandbar or slipping into a calm beach for a swim while instruments such as GPS and depth readouts keep the outing efficient and safe.
