The Rusty Pelican

Welcome aboard The Rusty Pelican.

 

Despite the name, The Rusty Pelican is no ‘rustbucket’. Completely remodeled and freshly painted, this 34-foot dive boat is of hand-laid fiberglass, built to withstand the weather shifts of the west coast.

A sleek, modern-looking 34-foot Hatteras Convertible equipped with a galley and on-board head, the Rusty Pelican has fiberglass-filled front windows, a fully-equipped modern galley, and a mahogany interior salon. There is air conditioning, a stereo cassette on the bridge, and a stereo system in the salon, along with a TV and VCR-player.

 

At the wheel, overlooking the ocean. The boat boasts a well-equipped galley.

 

Features of the boat include:

 

  • Twin Cummins 555 Turbocharged diesels able to cruise at 15 knots and reach a top speed of 22 knots, designed to get you to the best dive spots quickly;

  • The Rusty Pelican skims over the waves.

  • A 15 kw generator with 2 kw inverter system on golf cart batteries;
    A galley equipped with a 5.5 cubic foot sub-sero refrigerator, microwave-convection oven, coffee maker and on-deck BBQ;
  • For communications, a Marine VHF system;
  • For navigation, a Noble Tec GPS system and Furuno radar; and
  • For safety, EPIRB beacon, automatic halon extinguisher, and loud, 12-volt temperature/pressure alarm.

 

To serve divers, the boat includes a 15kw generator to power the dive compressor. Cory can also provide tanks and weight belts. The 24-foot herring punt can ferry divers to shallower water dive spots.

 

 

For whale watching, wilderness viewing, and photography, The Rusty Pelican offers a high open deck, an ideal platform for viewing and photography.


A high deck provides an excellent viewing platform.

 

On overnight trips, the Rusty Pelican can sleep up to six people.

 

To complement The Rusty Pelican, Cory has added a 24-foot herring skiff as an auxiliary vessel. The flat-bottomed punt allows more flexibility in dive sites – and for sightseeing – since it can be used in shallower waters.
