New Boat for Ecotours Coming in May

Tom Wagner, Florida Aquarium

Published: April 8, 2009

In May, The Florida Aquarium introduces a brand new, larger catamaran with three times the capacity for the popular Wild Dolphin Ecotours. This ship, specially made for the aquarium, is 72 feet long and 27 feet wide with two decks and holds 149 passengers.

The first deck is fully enclosed with air-conditioning, three flat-screen televisions for video presentations and large windows on both sides for full viewing of Florida's amazing ecosystems. The top deck is partially covered to offer protection from the sun.

The new catamaran, yet to be named, will mainly be used for daily Wild Dolphin Ecotours but can also be rented out for special events, cocktail receptions with bar and hors d'oeuvres and may even host weddings out on Tampa Bay.

Keep your eyes open for details of the grand christening of the new boat in May and plan your special event starting in June.
