Jaguar 55 Luxury Yacht Concept Redefines Performance Cats

J

aguar Powerboats, a name synonymous with high-performance power catamarans, is throwing a 75 mph twist into the yacht segment with the unveiling of its 55 Special design. The twin-hulled center console is slated to be the first yacht powered by twin Mercury Marine Verado 600R outboards. Renderings and specifications for this luxurious new chapter in the dynamic custom boatbuilder’s history will be available at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, March 25–28, slip 1024.

The lines of the 55 Special are unlike anything Jaguar has previously designed. With a thoroughly modern aesthetic, the yacht combines the boatbuilder’s thirst for innovation with its commitment to continuous improvement. The

55’ x 11’-11” hull is more angular than previous Jaguar hulls, with bold chines and a dramatic reverse sheer. Drawing on its racing legacy, steps generate lift to boost its top-speed performance, while strakes and running pads ensure the boat’s sure-footedness and seakindly ride.

“Hull number one of the 55 Special is nearing completion and will soon be tested at Mercury’s Lake X facility,” said John Clarke, Jaguar Powerboats president. “With the 600Rs, we’re expecting to top 75 mph—in a boat that offers all the amenities and luxury one would expect in a world-class yacht.”

Under the 55 Special’s impressive 17’-10” L hardtop is seating for 10, comprised of six Llebroc helm chairs, twin lounges and two jumpseats.

All those people need entertaining, so Jaguar utilized the center console for a built-in bar with refrigerator, sink and bottle storage. In the cockpit is an icemaker and second refrigerator. On either side, transom doors make stepping onto the yacht effortless.

Below deck is pure opulence. Offering 75” of headroom, the full-length master cabin has a queen bed, hanging closet, sofa and television.

The ensuite bathroom has a full shower, toilet and sink. There is a second head to port. Four massive yacht windows on each side illuminate the interior and offer striking views.

Jaguar Powerboats will have its innovative J43 in the water at Palm Beach. The 55 Special luxury center console catamaran yacht will debut at the 2021 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, October 27–31.

W

ith over 24,000 islands to explore, the Stockholm Archipelago is a Swedish boating paradise.

To accommodate the growing demand for a recreational guest marina in an area that had been without, the Värmdö Municipality built one at Stavsnäs Vinterhamn. Featuring an SF Marina floating concrete breakwater and walkway, phase one has opened and transformed the idyllic setting into a hub of yachting activity.

The breakwater and walkway were built on the other side of the country at SF Marina’s Wallhamn, Sweden facility and transported to the site by barge. Because of their modular design, installation is faster than traditional wooden or poured concrete structures.

Stavsnäs Vinterhamn (winter harbor) is an important public and freight transportation hub between the Swedish mainland and archipelago islands. The new recreational marina features a pumpout, harbor office, store, repair center, shower facilities and increased parking area with residential housing planned. Phase two of the marina project will begin in spring 2022. The website is bit.ly/ vinterhamn.

Protecting the investment was an important aspect of the project.

A 230’ breakwater was installed using SF Marina SFBW 400 floating pontoons. With a track record second-to-none, these wave attenuators have survived brutal storms the world over. Built of double-reinforced concrete, they’re virtually unsinkable. Each section is connected with an energy-absorbing coupling system that distributes stress during heavy wave action.

SF Marina’s SF 1030 concrete pontoons were chosen for the 394’ dock walkway. Extremely stable due to their low center of gravity, the sections feature a modest 1.6’ freeboard. WM-Bommen fingers from 20’ to 33’ long accommodate a wide range of boats at the 70-slip facility. The main walkway has integrated ducts that feed the El-Björn power pedestals; slips also feature freshwater hookups and free WiFi.

Since 1918, Gothenburg, Swedenbased SF Marina has engineered and manufactured floating concrete breakwaters and dock pontoons that overcome the most extreme storms.

The company has an expansive network of facilities across the globe ready to undertake a wide range of public and private marina projects.

Fort Lauderdale and Bermuda Collaborate on “Go Where the Yachts Go” Campaign Travelers will tap into the allure of both destinations known for the yachting lifestyle

G

REATER FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida and HAMILTON, Bermuda – Bermuda Tourism Authority and Visit Lauderdale will pair their nautical strengths in a new partnership designed to elevate both destinations’ desirable yachting lifestyle. Through marketing, public relations and events, Bermuda and Greater Fort Lauderdale will be highlighted as harbors for sun-seeking visitors of all sorts—those permanently part of the jet set crowd and travelers who enjoy a vacation setting dotted with yachts and superyachts.

The two-year partnership, jointly signed today in Bermuda and in Fort Lauderdale, is a pre-cursor to a new “Go Where the Yachts Go” marketing campaign which will leverage key events like the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) in October and Bermuda Grand Prix presented by Hamilton Princess, a sailing race that marks the start of SailGP’s one-million dollar winner-take-all professional sailing league.

“As Bermuda and Greater Fort Lauderdale engineer tourism recoveries, this kind of collaboration is particularly meaningful,” says The Hon. Premier David Burt of Bermuda. “It’s a fantastic example of two destinations finding greater success collaborating with one another rather than competing. I look forward to two years of exciting innovation as the Bermuda Tourism Authority and Visit Lauderdale bring this partnership to life.”

The two ideally located maritime destinations with non-competitive peak seasons (November through April for Greater Fort Lauderdale and May through October for Bermuda) will use the “Go Where the Yachts Go” theme to entice vessels leaving one destination to head to the other.

Similarly, non-nautical visitors to each place will be acquainted with the allure and beauty of the other; both seaside, luxury lifestyle places, but with distinctly different aesthetics.

“Combining the resources and reputations of both destinations makes financial and promotional sense during this time of tourism destination recovery,” says Steve Geller, Mayor of Broward County and Tourist Development Council chair. “A primary shared goal is to raise the profile of both destinations and attract a wide range of consumers who aspire to vacation in the same place as the yachting and sailing set.”

FORT LAUDERDALE

BERMUDA Plans are underway to jointly host events for media, yacht owners, brokers and crews at FLIBS and other shows, while partnering on public relations and marketing initiatives. Combining efforts in this way gives both destination marketing organizations amplified reach and exposure, while spending less than they would have otherwise.

“Bermuda is synonymous with yachting, sailing and the luxury lifestyle and Greater Fort Lauderdale is known as the Yachting Capital of the World so the cooperation of our two destinations serves to elevate both,” says Stacy Ritter, President and CEO of Visit Lauderdale. “With Bermuda firmly established with leisure travelers in the luxury lifestyle consumer segment this affiliation helps in our branding as Greater Fort Lauderdale continues to build new luxury hotels, restaurants and retail. It’s a win-win for both destinations.”

Leaders from both destinations agree there is a great deal of synergy since they appeal to similar audiences at different times of the year and travelers who have only been to one of the destinations would find the other appealing. For seafarers departing from or headed to Fort Lauderdale by yacht, Bermuda is an important port-o-call for vessels in transition to and from the Mediterranean.

“Attracting superyachts to Bermuda as well as the kind of visitor who enjoys a chartered yacht vacation are important National Tourism Plan objectives for our organization over the next few years,” says Glenn

Jones, Interim CEO of the Bermuda Tourism Authority. “I’m optimistic this partnership with Visit Lauderdale helps us to reach our goals sooner and speed up the tourism recovery. Simultaneously, the publicity we generate will make Bermuda relevant to countless more travelers attracted to our island lifestyle at a variety of price points.”

“Yachts shape the look, feel and personality of both Greater Fort Lauderdale and Bermuda,” says Bob Denison, President & Founder of Denison Yachting, based in Fort Lauderdale. “Partnering to promote the economic importance of the yachting industry and the picturesque setting it provides for visitors to both destinations makes total sense and we are onboard to support the initiative.”

For its portion of the joint campaign, Greater Fort Lauderdale will work with NBC Sports Network anchor Townsend Bell, who covers the annual FLIBS event for the network, to produce new video content featuring the area’s on-the-water lifestyle and laid-back luxury to enhance its existing destination content. Bermuda brings strong contacts to the partnership in the area of marine industry and luxury lifestyle marketing.

The two destinations will work with Marine Industries Association of South Florida and Informa Markets, the respective owner and operator of FLIBS, to build added presence for Greater Fort Lauderdale and Bermuda during the 2021 show, which takes place October 27-31, 2021 in Fort Lauderdale, as well as future boat show and other event opportunities.

Storing Your Boat

A

key component of boat ownership is the question of where to keep your boat when you’re not using it.

Budget, convenience and availability play into the equation and should be part of any pre-purchase discussion.

Trailering You won’t find a less-expensive way to keep a boat than storing it on a trailer in your driveway or backyard. A boat trailer has the added advantages of allowing you to boat on different bodies of water and to seize random nice days. Be sure

to check your vehicle owner’s manual for safety rules, tips and complete instructions on boat towing capacity.

This will help make sure you’re selecting the appropriate boating equipment for the model you’re buying.

Rack Storage Another alternative for smaller boats is rack storage or dry stacks. A typical rack storage facility keeps your boat in a

covered shed filled with trailer-like cradles.

You call the facility before you want to go boating and they use a forklift or other lifting machine to retrieve and launch your boat at a designated time. When you come back, you tie it up, walk away and they return it to the shed.

The Boat Marina Advantage For owners of larger boats, and owners of small boats who crave convenience, buying or renting a boat marina slip is the best way to go. You drive your family and gear to the marina, load the boat, cast off the lines and go.

Rates vary from state to state and marina to marina, but typically you’ll be charged according to the length of

your boat or the length of the slip. Boat marinas sometimes offer winter storage, service options and amenities. The best marinas offer connections for electricity, wash down water, telephone, Internet and TV at the dock. Boat marinas can be great fun as well, with slip-holders often getting together for parties, cookouts or just friendly socializing.

It pays to do some research before you buy your boat. Consult your local yellow pages, go on-line and search for marinas on the body of water you plan to use and discuss the issue with the dealer who’s selling you your boat. Or use our Marina Finder here: https://www.discoverboating.com/ marina-finder

You Have Until May 14 to Think of a Better Way to Recycle Fishing Line, Soft Bait: $30,000 in Prize Money Is at Stake BoatUS Foundation and Berkley Recast & Recycle Contest seeks new ideas, concepts

A

NNAPOLIS, Md., April 5, 2021 – You’ve likely seen the fishing line recycling bins in many marinas and boatyards, but what really happens after that line is collected? Recycling it into new products is labor-intensive, requiring a series of workers to comb through, sort, clean, remove hooks and weights, and separate out encrusted debris from miles of entangled fishing line. There also aren’t any recycling programs for fishing-related materials like soft baits.

The BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water and Berkley have teamed up with the Recast and Recycle Contest to offer $30,000 in prize money ($15,000 first place, $10,000 second place, and $5,000 third place) for new and innovative ideas that could improve the process, increase the amount of fishing line and soft baits that can be recycled, create new recycled products, or offer a technology breakthrough in the way line is recycled and reused.

14

THE Florida MARINER #931 / 25 April 2021

Contest submissions can address any part (or multiple parts) of the process of taking fishing gear from end of life to a new life. Professionals, amateurs and students are all encouraged to apply, as are school teams and groups. Judges will add weight to contest submissions that actually work, are practical, innovative, and have the potential to have a significant impact.

The deadline for contest entries May 14, 2021. Entries can be easily submitted by sending a link to a video demonstration of the idea (limited to 4 minutes) or a one-page graphic summary.

Contest rules and conditions, details on the current recycling process and videos on how various plastics and soft baits are recycled can be found at the Recast and Recycle website BoatUS.org/Contest.

History of the pier: Bradenton’s Memorial Pier dates back to 1878. The pier building was erected in 1928, and in the 1930s was officially dedicated to honoring 21 young men from Manatee County who died in WW1. Over the next five decades, the two story Memorial Pier building would be used for a variety of functions, both public and private. The large riverfront second floor was the social scene for dances and events (currently The Grand Ballroom at PIER 22). The ground floor was used as a warehouse for freight from steamers coming into Tampa, until the mid 1940s. Then, a portion of the building became the first home of the South Florida Museum. The Manatee County Chamber of Commerce also resided here for 34 years, along with Manatee County’s first radio station which began broadcasting in 1946. In 1974, Don Miller Development Corporation acquired the old building from the city, and considered tearing it down.

They soon realized, however, that the architectural and historic value of this Bradenton landmark must be preserved. Meticulous restoration of the pier building lasted two years. The Miller family has taken great measures to ensure the building’s historic style and integrity remain intact while surrounding the pier with a modern and luxurious 225 wet slip marina.

Captain’sCorner with Captain Dylan Hubbard InshoreThe snook bite is off the charts right now through the area.

We are seeing them flooding back into the passes and even a few onto the beaches already with plenty along the docks, flats, mangrove shorelines and bridges from the back bay to the passes. They are extremely aggressive and prolific at this time great time to target these guys for some fun catch and release action. Remember, the next FWC meeting to discuss the catch and release only order is coming up May 12th and 13th. Early morning hours the top water lures on the flats have worked well this week. Throughout the day on the flats and more shallow areas the soft plastics are a great choice. At night around the passes the flairhawk lures are starting to get used more and more.

Pompano action is going well around the area right now on those sandy areas around the bridges, passes and jetties.

However, you can find them around the edges of the flats or the sandy channels. Even from local fishing piers is a great opportunity to catch some of these great eating fish. Drifting sandy passes is my favorite way to target them from a boat. Those pompano jigs or banana jigs seem to work best popping just along the bottom only around 4-6 inches off the bottom.

Redfish action has been steady through the area too. Not quite as prolific and aggressive as the snook have been, but we have been seeing good numbers.

The passes at night holding those redfish along the bottom on the bridge and dock lights. During the day, around the flats, dock

with Captain Ray Markham This time of year you have to take the good with the bad…in terms of weather. Last weekend’s weather rolling in produced major thunderstorm activity combined with at least two tornados that touched down, leaving some downed trees and damage to homes. No issues were reported on the water. As always, pay close attention to weather reports before and during your fishing trips.

OFFSHORE/ NEARSHORE Again this week anglers have been on Spanish and king mackerel as seas settled from last weekend’s blow. Nearshore waters close to rivers have been showing some turbidity as well as tannin-stained water. For some of the best action, clean water is the key. Wherever clean water is found, most times baitfish schools will be located. A good pair of binoculars can be useful in

locating schools of mackerel or kingfish. Scanning the horizon to check for diving birds or surface activity from feeding fish will give you a head’s up on where to head.

Some of the best action has been just after sunrise, especially on the surface, but trolling spoons and jigs at varying depths at around 5-to 6-knots will also reveal the action below. Constantly monitoring the depth recorder can also reveal schools of mackerel or kings if you are slow-trolling live baits. The slower these baits are trolled, the better, but for just scouting purposes, running about 3-knots is optimal for covering water and watching the recorder for signs of bait or schools of fish.

Hogfish action has been somewhat slower than that of a few months ago. Rising water temperature seems to have moved some of this action out to around 60-to 80feet, but with some persistence, starting at 30-feet and out you can

West Central Florida Southwest Coast lines, mangrove shorelines and oyster bars are great places to look. Using slower moving soft plastics or artificial shrimp seem to be a crowd favorite for those redfish currently.

Trout bite is going well still too.

Seeing along of the trout around the flats, islands, mangroves and even around the passes too. Trout love the soft plastic paddle tails, live shrimp, and even smaller pinfish. Look for areas they can stage, and ambush passing baits and use those lighter action slower rods for good hook sets on these fun to catch fish that have softer jaw lines than most.

West Central Florida find some. The red grouper bite has been strong between 120 and 150-feet. The Flying Hub II out of Hubbard’s Marina recently reported landing a load of red grouper and some big scamp grouper on one of their 12-hour Extreme trips. Gags have been mixed in. Be sure and check www. myfwc.com for closures and open dates on all species.

A variety of snappers are being caught anywhere from 40-feet and beyond. Some fat mangrove snappers have been caught in the 100-foot range and beyond, but add some lane, vermilion, and a few yellowtail snappers to that mix and you have the makings of a fantastic fish fry.

SPRING FISHING HIGHLIGHTS Some highlights for fishing on Florida’s east central coast during the spring are the weather is still cool and enjoyable, the waters warming up and the fish begin to shift into their pre-spawning feeding mood. Some examples of this behavior are the cobia moving north up the Atlantic coast, and the spotted sea trout transitioning into their traditional spawning areas on the inshore flats.

Like many saltwater species, the cobia and sea trout spawn in aggregations or groups, not on beds. In the case of the cobia their traditional spawning areas are off the central east coast of the US, and in the northern Gulf of Mexico. As the fish migrate north, they burn energy and feed heavily along the way, hence the cobia run we experience each spring.

late season cobia as well. The cobia run thus far has been slow; with bait pods (Atlantic menhaden or pogies) arriving late this year. As the bait pod move in, look for Spanish mackerel, bluefish, redfish, giant jack crevalle, sharks, and smoker kings. Concentrate your efforts in areas of bait pods. When you see areas of bait balled up and pushed to the surface, there is a high probability that feeding gamefish are pressuring the bait from below.

On the flats, the smaller male sea trout move up into the shallows first, and then call the females in to spawn by drumming loudly just after dusk when the conditions are right, usually on the first new moon or full moon in April, and then again on the new and full moons throughout the summer.

INDIAN RIVER AND MOSQUITO LAGOON FLATS On the lagoon flats, fish the early morning and late evening with your favorite top water plugs for extreme topwater sea trout action, and soft plastics and jigs in deeper water, 2 to 3 feet after the midday sun settles in. Remember, April is one of the months when larger sea trout are egg laden for the spawn, so it’s very important to handle and release the larger

with Captain Chris Johnson Dolphin and tarpon and grouper! Oh my! May is a most bountiful time of year for fishing in the Marathon area, Let’s start on the reef, where May 1 heralds the opening of grouper season. Black, gag and red grouper will hit the docks in great numbers this month.

INLETS In the inlets, look for good numbers of flounder, sheepshead and black drum around structure such as jetties and docks, and Spanish mackerel, blues, and large jacks in open water. Also look for the nighttime snook and tarpon action to heat up in the Sebastian Inlet.

Black grouper is typically the primary target for anglers on the reef.

They’re found in the same areas we fish for yellowtail snapper, which are beginning their spawn. Of the three primary grouper varieties, blacks are probably the toughest, so heavy tackle is necessary to land them.

The SeaSquared captains use Penn Torque Lever Drag reels in the 30-pound class, matched with a 30to 50-pound Star conventional rod.

On the reef, our leaders are typically 60-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon, matched to an 8/0 Owner AKI hook.

The grouper are big so, naturally, the baits are big.

Grunts, bluerunners with their tails trimmed and legal-size snappers, preferably 12- to 14inch yellowtails. These baits usually don’t last long when dropped to the bottom in 50 to 70 feet of water.

The Atlantic wrecks also hold

Central Florida females with great care. If you are looking for snook and tarpon action inside, the Sebastian River will be the place to go.

FRESHWATER & ST. JOHNS RIVER Finally, freshwater largemouth and striped bass action has been and will heat up on the St Johns River. Look for schooling bass at first light feeding on threadfin shad from the Osteen Bridge to Lake Harney. My favorite locations are in the river bends near the power lines at Lemmon Bluff and at confluences of Lake Harney and the River. A good way to locate these schooling fish is to look for wading birds congregating along the shore. When in the feeding mode, these fish will take small plastic jerk baits like the 4-inch DOA Shad Tail, most small swim plugs, and small live shiners.

Also, as the river rises and the velocity increases, the larger spawning channel catfish (freshwater cobia) move out of the big lakes into the river to spawn.

As always, if you need information or have any questions, please contact me.

Good luck and good fishing,

Marathon/FloridaKeys Keys Marathon/Florida

large black grouper plus gags at 20-plus pounds and good size reds going 10 to 15 pounds. Use the same setup and baits here as you would on the reef.

As for the snapper action on the reef, the primary players are yellowtail and mangrove.

This is the best time of year to get your biggest flag yellowtail, with fish upward of six pounds and more hitting the docks on a regular basis.

Again, the deeper areas in 60 to 100 feet are most consistent for the flags.

You may also find mangrove snapper mixed in. These are also forming their annual congregation on the reef, and most are large, mature fish in the four- to seven-pound category.

The action on the wrecks also heats up in May, with lots of mutton snapper, amberjack, African pompano and, as mentioned above, grouper.

Pinfish, pilchards or live ballyhoo are the preferred baits for all but the grouper.

We’re still catching permit up to 30 pounds on the artificial reefs. Use small crabs on a jighead.

Offshore,

the dolphin (mahi mahi) bite kicks into gear steadily at this point. You can expect larger fish this month, with the smaller schoolies arriving in June. Now is the time for the gaffers and slammers.

Look for birds, especially frigates, working the water surface or weed lines to indicate the presence of the dolphin. The usual assortment of lures and rigged ballyhoo do the trick.

The true reason for the season is found nearshore around the bridges.

This is where we fish for tarpon, the Silver King, and they’re at the peak of their run during May. On an average four-hour outing, you’ll see a couple hundred tarpon rolling, and the chances of landing the fish of a lifetime are very good.

In the Marathon area, we have the Long Key Bridge, the Seven Mile Bridge and Bahia Honda Bridge. The preferred baits vary bridge-to-bridge, with mullet and pinfish the choice at Long Key and Seven Mile, while Bahia Honda is all about crabs. Talk to your local tackle shop to see what the tarpon are biting best and what rigs to use.

A VESSEL SAFETY CHECK MIGHT BE YOUR BEST NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION - STUART - Despite numerous COVID-19 restrictions, more and more boaters are taking to the water to alleviate at-home boredom while taking advantage of the open-air benefits and more pandemicfree aspects of recreational boating. But if you haven’t been out boating in a while, are your vessel’s lights operating properly? Do you have a sufficient number of life jackets for the number of passengers aboard? Is your engine’s ventilation system up to par? To get you started on a new year boating adventure, now may be a perfect time to consider getting a 2021 Vessel Safety Check (VSC) offered by certified VSC examiners from the St. Lucie River Power Squadron, also known as America’s Boating Club of Martin County. These trained VSC examiners from the local squadron will point out safety features such as minimum requirements required by the U.S.

24

www.TheMariner.com Coast Guard, examine fundamental mechanical aspects of your vessel, and answer questions how you can have more fun safely on the water.

These are just a few of the many discussion points covered in this voluntary examination.

As an added plus, Vessel Safety Checks are free to boat owners. And if you don’t “pass muster” with the thorough examination, the summary report is yours and yours alone. No record of any possible deficiencies will be reported to the USCG, state agency or any other authority. Want to know more about this complimentary Vessel Safety Check program? Contact Peter Burns at (772) 486-2684 or burnspet@aol.com. St. Lucie River Power Squadron, one of more than 300 squadrons nationwide, also offers safe boating classes to the public. Check on their website, www.slrps.org, when classes will resume.

Information about the parent organization is available at www.usps.org.

BUSY, CLASSES DON’T FIT YOUR TIMETABLE? THEN ADJUST OUR SCHEDULE We understand BUSY. The Banana River Sail and Power Squadron teaches a large number of classes. They are regularly scheduled throughout the year.

Rather than have you miss a class offering we will schedule and teach any of the classes listed below whenever five (5) or more students make a request for a class. To make a class request, please call 321-220-7776 or email hofmanneg@juno.com for more information or to request a class. LIST OF COURSES: BASIC BOATING: America’s Boating Course 3rd Edition.

COAST GUARD AUXILIARY OFFERS VESSEL SAFETY CHECKS AND SAFE BOATING CLASSES - A Vessel Safety Check is a complimentary check of your boat conducted by members of the Auxiliary, confirming that it meets both federal and state requirements for safety. No citations are issued, and the results of the safety check are not reported to any enforcement agency, but a decal is awarded to display when the vessel has passed the examination. The Vessel Safety Check (VSC) is performed at your boat, whether in a slip, at the launch ramp, or in your driveway, by a certified Vessel Examiner, at a mutually-convenient time.

It usually takes 20-45 minutes, depending on the size of your boat. After successful inspection you are awarded a vessel safety check sticker which is affixed to your vessel near your state registration sticker. Call 727-898-1324 to find an inspector or go to www.cgaux.org/vsc/.

CLEARWATER COAST GUARD AUXILIARY TEACHING BOATING SAFETY CLASSES ONLINE - 2021 - A New Way to Learn … A New Crop of Safe Boaters. With the advent of COVID-19, the Coast Guard Auxiliary was advised to discontinue in-person classes for the safety of the instructors and students. The good news is that the State of Florida (FWC) and the National Association of Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) have approved the Coast Guard Auxiliary to conduct online classes. These classes are not your standard webinar sessions where the students sit at their computers and are lectured at. And they’re not animated cartoon sessions where you have to keep pressing enter to get to the next topic.

The Clearwater Coast Guard Auxiliary is offering outstanding “Boat America” course via two options: May 22nd & May 23rd (Two Sessions) ONLINE 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. June 22nd & June 23rd; June 24th & June 25th (Four Evenings) ONLINE, 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm.

Classes are $40 per student and include the books, supplemental materials and course completion certificates. The classes being offered by the Clearwater Coast Guard Auxiliary are conducted on Zoom with the same instructors the student would have had in the classroom and allowing lots of questions and answers. In addition, because the classes are on the Internet, there’s no commuting to a classroom – the students can be anywhere in Florida! The boating safety class is also a requirement for many boaters in Florida. In the Sunshine State, anyone born after Jan. 1, 1988, must successfully complete a boater safety course approved by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in order to operate any boat powered by more than 10 horsepower, and they are required to carry their boater education card with them when out on the water along with picture ID. Contact the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Clearwater Flotilla, for boating safety classes at: www.clwboatingsafety.com or by email at clwtr.auxboating@gmail.com or call 727-469-8895.

BoatEd Offers online boating safety courses with online certification tests for a number of states.

Vision of perfection.

erfection isn’t a goal at the finish line of production. It is the subtle understanding of what each owner’s personal vision of perfection is. This is the hallmark of Marlow Explorer and Voyager yachts. We work with each owner to achieve perfection in their eyes, not merely build a yacht, but rather a statement of themselves.
