She is a 33ft Cruiser and one of the most comfortable and stable boats in her class. She has an easy access platform on the stern of the vessel, fully enclosed covers and upper deck heating.

From the rear of the vessel you can scatter the ashes into the sea and any floral tributes, buoquets or other memorable items. When you are ready, we will set sail back to Ramsgate marina.
The skipper will issue you with a date/time and position card, of where the ashes were layed to rest.
You can bring any music with you, in which we can play out on the vessels sound system as and when you want.Through the winter months the vessel will have all its covers fitted, so the wheelhouse will be enclose and also the upperdeck heaters will be switched on.
