She was built in 1962 in the West Country, She has always been a tripping boat. She has worked mostly in the Paignton/Dartmouth/Brixham areas.
Like all proper Domestic Passenger Ships she has to pass two MCA surveys each year and carries all the life saving and radio equipment necessary.
She is licenced by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) to safely carry 62 passengers, but that is very friendly. We prefer about 40 passengers.
All trips are weather permitting.
