200 FOOT GAMING VESSEL GOES TO WORK
In mid-October, the 200’ Offshore Gaming Vessel Princesa started twice-a-day cruises out of Bay Front Marina in Miami, Florida.
She is the 2nd vessel specifically designed by DeJong & Lebet, for Offshore Gaming. The first one is the highly successful SWATH ‘SUNCRUZ VI", operating out of Dania, Florida.
The "PRINCESA" is a 200’ monohull with 3 enclosed and 1 partially open deck. In order to reduce the dreaded seasickness, she is fitted with special bilge keels and two Flume Stabilization Tanks. The combined roil reduction is between 50% and 70%.
The mega yacht-styling fits in well with the South Florida ambience.
Two 3412 caterpillar main engines provide a cruising speed of 12 knots. The 435 kW generators are also driven by 3412 caterpillars
