The Captain: Hi, my name is Marcelino. I've been a Pinellas resident for twenty-four years. I'm a father of two boys and a husband to my wife. I enjoy bringing my family and friends to breathtaking locations around the Tampa Bay Area. My goal is to share these experiences with others so they can take nothing but memories back with them.
As a student, I spent several years studying marine biology and environmental science to learn about the ocean and marine life. This knowledge is where I found my passion and respect for the marine environment.
Now, I have the opportunity to give back and educate others while immersed in nature. I am licensed as a Six-Pack Captain with my first aid and CPR certifications.
Join me and be part of my experience as I work toward my goal of becoming a Master Captain. Help make me the best Captain by joining me on the water.
The vessel: The vessel is a 2021 Viaggio Lago 18R. The vessel is fitted with a Yamaha 90Hp four-stroke engine.
The things that I desired in a vessel were first safety, Second comfortability, and Third performance.
The boat is a very well-balanced bow to stern and Starboard to port. I have been to many boat shows and tried sitting on other boat seats and nothing compared to Viaggion's quality of materials.
The boat has been upgraded with a Hydrofoil from “Pontoon HydroFoil Applications INC”.The hydrofoil was the last piece of the puzzle and enhanced Safety by allowing the maximum speed of the vessel to go up to 36 mph in case of an emergency. It also raises the bow out of the water when making way, which removes the potential of getting wet and bouncing around due to waves. As a result, the vessel can operate more efficiently on fuel while not sacrificing speed.Pontoon Hydrofoil Applications - Unleash Your Pontoon Speed With a VARA® Foil Hydrofoil!
