Serenity is the perfect size sailboat. Easy to maneuver and big enough to comfortably accommodate up to six passengers.
Your captain is a certificated USCG captain (OUPV MMC) and a certified ASA sailing instructor, so plan to take the helm as much or as little as you’d like.
Serenity has a fridge, large bathroom and plenty of room to relax above and below deck.
Please bring any food/beverages in a soft cooler or bags.
Please do not bring spray or oil-based sunscreen. Only mineral-based sunscreen please (to save the oceans, the fiberglass and the seating materials).
There is a bathroom next to the marina office (code is 253). While there is a head on the boat, it is not recommended to be used for #2 (for several reasons which I will spare you the details).
Coast Guard regulations limit passengers to six.
