Captained by experienced USCG licensed personnel, our ex-Secret Service Zodiac Hurricane has been retrofitted specifically for coastal tours and sightseeing use. Zodiac rigid hull inflatable boats are known for their low center of gravity and handling in rough seas. The Hurricane model was designed specifically for military use, with a deep V to handle larger swells and heavier waters and a rubber collar which not only provides stability and protects passengers and cargo from spray but also supplies reserve buoyancy and acts as an energy sink to soften the ride. The low profile of the boat not only decreases the chance of sea-sickness, it also allows you to get much closer to the dolphins and whales, creating a more intimate and interactive experience.
