If you have yet to ridethe 65 foot, 50mph catamaran, you are missing outemoThumbsup. I took the family Saturday and everyone loved it. It's a high speed run from Ross's Landing to down past William's Island, at which pointthe boat slows for observation all the way to the "Suck" or "Narrows". During the observation period, you are allowed to go up on the top deck and glass the scenery with theprovided binoculars. It's a bit pricey, but worth it IMHOemoCool.

$29 per adult, less for the kiddos. The catamarancost 2.9 million and they average $2100 a trip with 3 to 4 runs daily...nobody is getting rich quickemoLaugh. We launched at 3 and docked at 5:30.</p>

I was downtown the other day and they brought the boat out into the middle of the river and did a few 360s for a couple of minutes and then parked it again. I thought that was a little strange. That boat can spin like a top. emoBigsmile emoGeezer
