The Boat
Forty-Seven Feet of Pure Freedom.
Not all sailing charters are created equal. While most competitors operate 30–34 foot vessels, Allyn's 47-foot Beneteau Oceanis offers significantly more deck space, smoother sailing stability, and the capacity to host larger groups in genuine comfort. This is the difference between a charter and an experience.
