Equipment

wind generator

Solar panels and a wind generator provide our electricity without using the twin 56hp Yanmar engines. A water maker produces drinkable water from the sea enabling us to spend longer periods away from land. A generator is aboard to recharge the batteries if necessary.

-We have a 12ft Rigid inflatable boat (RIB) with a 25hp Mercury outboard engine. A 2 person kayak is available to explore the islands. -We have a full set of fishing gear for both trawling at sea and for fishing in the bays.

-We have a TV, DVD player and radio with speakers in the cockpit, saloon and on the front deck.-We have a laptop on board which can be used to access the internet (Wi-Fi is only available in certain ports of call)

-We can charge electric equipment such as cameras, ipods, laptops etc as long as you bring your adapters/leads. We have 110 and 220 volt plugs (USA and UK Plugs) available on the boat but please be aware that power on the boat is limited.
