Hi Times Crew & Vessel

Crew and Vessel

The Charter Vessel HiTime

The new generation of the C/V HiTime is a 28 foot welded aluminum vessel powered by twin state of the art 250hp Yamaha outboards. She cruises at near 30 mph, meaning more time spent sightseeing and fishing and less time running.

Creature comforts are also important, and the HiTime is outfitted to make sure you will be comfortable. The cabin is heated and is equipped with a full bathroom. Seating in the cabin comfortably accommodates six passengers and the crew of two. The galley area includes a sink with fresh running water, and there is always hot coffee in the pump pot.

As a passenger carrying vessel, safety is our top priority. The HiTime is equipped with state of the art navigation and communication equipment including GPS, radar, chart plotter, depth sounder and 2 VHF radios. Life jackets for all passengers and a throwable safety device are always onboard.
