You can go sightseeing on these boats or simply lounge on them out in the open waters under the sun with friends or family. This is eco friendly and promotes greener activities. The noiseless cruising does not cause any disturbance to the marine life and you can get close to the turtles on it.
There is a guided tour that lasts one hour. Your guide will take you to the areas where you can spot the maximum number of turtles and the best sea life. They will also give you interesting information about the area and the island.
The boats come in vibrant colors and are well equipped too with bimini tops, coolers, two beverage holders and bluetooth/radio stereo system and complimentary WiFi!
These boats are technologically superior and have a host of safety features too like a handheld radio in a waterproof case and a GPS tagging device so that you can be tracked and towed back if you run into any sort of difficulty.
There is also a waterproof map, first-aid kit, whistle, flashlight, mirror, collapsible paddle, life jackets for each passenger. The automatic bilge pump for water removal gets activated if water enters the boat by a wave splash or in the wake of a larger cruiser.
To keep track of the amount of charge remaining in the battery there are ten color coded LEDs. The last flashing red and yellow pair indicates a final warning of your battery running out of charge.
Although the boats are simple to operate by all age groups, the company has a minimum age requirement of 16 years for all operators (they may require a valid photo id). Any passenger under the age of 16 has to be accompanied by an adult.
