At 52’ in length, 16’ wide at the beam and weighing 28 tons, GADABOAT is one of the largest, most spacious and most comfortable private yachts offered for Day and Term Charters in Antigua. She is licensed and insured for up to 6 guests with plenty of room to move around above and below deck. The roomy cock pit has cushions for comfort and an awning for shade. There is a swim platform on the stern for ease getting in and out of the water and a fresh water rinse.
