The nostalgic commander’s “old-style” microboat

THE PERFECT GIFT!

Give or treat yourself to a subscription to Boats in Motion print + digital and for only 39 euros a year you get the magazine at home plus read it on your PC, smartphone and tablet. With a sea of advantages.

If you look at the helmsman of this boat, you might safely assume you are looking at the captain of an early 20th century ocean liner. But among the swampy, shallow waters of the Everglades, Florida, there is no room for ocean liners, so this nostalgic gentleman built himself this “old-style” microboat with which he sails the canals and greets and welcomes tourists. The only modern detail, which “stands out,” is the outboard (albeit dated!).
