1970 Carri-Craft 57 foot Catamaran Houseboat
Boat will remain docked during your stay
My new home is a House Boat and it has been rebuilt
It had been abandoned for 5 years in Caye Caulker, Belize
Towed to Dry Dock
Removed engines and drive shafts and rudders and Painted Hull
Cabin has been rebuilt
Have Solar System with Solar Panels, shading top deck
Waiting for electric outboard motors and Reverse Osmosis Water Maker to arrive
Still working on some finishing
Currently docked canal on lagoon
Plan is to move to the front of the island (reef side) – until Hurricanes – then will come back to the lagoon for the storm
But I need to finish the motors and get my Master Captain’s License first before I can move
Current location on lagoon
