Sea Island Boat Works

So I have worked on or sailed a few boats so far in my life, starting from an 8' long fiberglass sailing dinghy custom built by Tom and Charlie Bunger of Bunger Surf Shops, up to a 99' party barge in NY harbor. Many of the sailboats, however, have been built at Sea Island Boatbuilders (formerly Sea Island Boat Works) in South Carolina.

The first such boat was the Spread Eagle II, a 51' catamaran out of Fajardo, PR:

Then, I moved up to captain the Katarina, a brand new 32' SeaRunner, in Rincon, PR:

There are a number of other Sea Runners down here in the VI, including Dancing Dolphin:
Adventurer and Adventuress:
And the newest delivery, Kekoa, a 50', 99-passenger version of Katarina that will operate out of the Westin in St. John:
Equipped with twin 75 HP diesels and all sorts of toys and goodies, she is pretty sweet!
