SUV of the Sea: A 37' Axopar Mini‑Yacht for Custom Ultra‑Luxury Charters out of Tampa.
Tampa’s low, wide light settles across a harbor that begs to be explored. Aboard the Adventure II—a 37' Axopar XC positioned as an ultra‑luxury activity boat—you’re not renting an itinerary so much as commissioning a day: fishing, swimming, sunning, or a long haul to the Dry Tortugas, all shaped to your preferences the day before departure.

Ultra‑Luxury, Adventure‑Ready
The Adventure II pairs a sleek Axopar hull with creature comforts—air conditioning, an enclosed cabin, a stateroom for infants and children, and a large sunpad—so days of activity don’t mean sacrificing comfort.
Tailor‑Made Charters
What sets the trip apart is customization: operators consult with you after booking (typically the day before) and craft a charter to match your mood, needs, and budget—from short local hops to full‑day adventures.
Equipped for Play and Ease
Onboard systems—GPS, radar, sonar, an ice chest and refrigerator, a livewell and rod holders—support fishing, while a swim ladder, floats and an onboard shower turn stops into proper beach days.

What the Day Feels Like
From a tidy marina departure to stretches of open water, the charter is organized around your priorities: short, social cruises for sun and swimming; focused fishing trips using the boat’s livewell and rod holders; or extended runs that let you push toward farther landmarks. The operator assigns a vetted captain and opens a group chat to refine the plan before you cast off.
