Riptide pairs sleek Scandinavian design with high-performance adventure on the water. The 37-foot vessel emphasizes speed, comfort, and style, with a convertible sun-top and spacious lounging decks.
She's built for coastal cruising and island runs alike — fast enough to reach the Channel Islands with time to spare, and comfortable enough to linger in a quiet cove all afternoon. A restroom is on board, and the Sun-Top keeps you shaded while you enjoy the open-air experience.
Shade when you want it, open sky when you don't — the best of both worlds on every trip.
Room to relax, sunbathe, and take in the coastline in comfort, with an on-board restroom.
Speed and stability to reach the islands quickly and cruise the coast smoothly.
Our team at Coastal Explorers is made up of experienced captains and crew who are dedicated to helping our customers create unforgettable memories.
From your first message to your last wave goodbye at the dock, we handle the details so you can simply enjoy the water. Have questions before you book? We're happy to help you plan the perfect day.
