The captains proud ''The Neverland''
The NeverLand is an American-built Bertram 28 ft cruiser. Bertram yachts pioneered Ray Hunt’s deep-V hull design in the offshore boating category – setting an industry standard for builders in its class.

Powered by twin new Volvo Penta 225 HP engines and with a top speed of 30 Knots, you will waste no time getting out to the deepest waters, especially seeing as they are right outside the harbor!
