The Boat and Crew
The "Muff Diver" is a 1984 Ocean Yacht, refitted throughout in 1992 and re-powered in 2003 with twin 500 HP A Northern-Lights/Lugger 6125A Diesels. . In 1992 she went through extensive re-modeling to make the vessel more charter fishing friendly. The "Muff Diver" has heat/air conditioning, TV/VCR, stereo, microwave, refrigerator, ice maker and other amenities. The cockpit, planned with the fisherman in mind, is fully equipped for offshore fishing. There is a large kill box for your catch with an ice machine feeding it to insure your catch is kept fresh. There are two chairs, a rocket launcher or nothing in the cockpit depending on the kind of fishing to be done. She has full state of the art electronics.
