About Us
Busy Bee is a 2006 World Cat 250dc with a pair of bulletproof Yamaha 150hp outboard engines. Designed with offshore fishing in mind, she is an excellent choice for cruising the Virgin Islands.
She is perfectly laid out for up to six people; ample seating in the bow, a co-pilot seat and a bench in the stern. There is space to keep your belongings dry, drinking water and a cooler stocked with soda. She is the original boat in our fleet and continues to serve us so well after 13+ years in the charter industry.

Ellen is our 1998 Privateer Atlantic 28. She is pushed by a pair of 240hp Yanmar Diesels and has been upgraded with diving in mind - a large swim platform and oversized ladder makes entry and exit a breeze. Her 10' beam means there is plenty of cockpit space for all the gear and tanks and there is seating both in and out of the pilothouse.
She is named for Ellen Barnes - Bryan's Grandmother - who, like our Privateer, could get the job done with a touch of class and grace.
