Blount Small Ship Adventures also offers these exciting features:
BOW RAMP
In true Blount Small Ship Adventures style, go from ship to shore literally. The patented bow ramp allows passengers to walk from the ship to sandy beaches or shore side without the need for docks or jetties. Due to coastal regulations, this feature is not used on all itineraries.
RETRACTABLE PILOT HOUSE
A Blount invention, the pilot house of the ship is able to retract from the top deck to the deck below. This allows Blount Small Ship Adventures’ vessels to cruise below low lying bridges, taking passengers where most overnight vessels simply cannot go. Visit places like the Erie Canal in ways that few other travelers ever have.
FRESH AIR VENTILATION
All vessels feature cabins with air conditioning systems that continuously feed fresh air and remove “used” air.
GLASS BOTTOM BOAT
Available when navigating the Caribbean and Central America this specially-designed launch allows passengers to view underwater marine life.
GUEST LECTURERS
Many cruises include on board lectures, commentary and discussions about the local wildlife, history and culture.
ATMOSPHERE:
Always casual, informal and un-crowded, Blount Small Ship Adventures offers the spirit of a relaxed boating vacation of a by gone era.
