Surfer Girl to increase passenger count in 2020.

Great news. We have been working with the USCG to increase our passenger count on Surfer Girl and passed the first hurdle a week ago. Two more items we have to complete, including our inspection, so that we can increase our passenger count from 6 to up to 15. We will keep you posted. Our season starts in May of 2020 and will run until the end of September.  Contact us for more information on booking a cruise on Surfer Girl.
