The Captain: Hi, I’m Captain Marcelino. I’ve been a proud Florida resident for over twenty-four years, and I love spending time on the water with my family and friends.

Now, as a captain, I get to share these same experiences with others and create unforgettable memories while showcasing the beauty of The Tampa Bay and The Gulf. With a background in marine biology and environmental science, I’ve developed a deep passion and respect for the ocean and marine life.

Today, I’m a licensed Six-Pack Captain with first aid/CPR certifications, dedicated to providing safe, fun, and meaningful trips on the water. My goal is to give both locals and travelers an authentic experience that highlights the stunning waters of our area and everything they have to offer.

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!
