Welcome Aboard.

 
The main saloon of PRIMETIME is tastefully furnished and spacious, which provides a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for all occasions, whether it's watching your favourite video and relaxing, or participating in a management strategic planning session.

PRIMETIME provides a modern superbly appointed galley, complete with household size fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, oven, gas hobs and complemented by a cockpit barbecue for those summer evenings.

Spacious accommodation allows for overnight or extended trips. With five single berths and two queen size beds, guests can be comfortably accommodated to unwind at any time. Both of the cabins with queen beds are fitted with personal televisions.

With two toilets and showers (one forward,  one aft) a hot shower is available anytime with unlimited fresh water for everyone.

The boat is equipped with state of the art Furuno computer navigation, fish sounders and spacious seating for 12 guests. The flybridge has been given special consideration in seating design to ensure the anglers don't miss the moment and excitement as the marlin strikes and the fight begins .
