Bad Kitty (was Lucia)

SUMMARY

A diamond in the rough! Fuel efficient!

The twelfth wave-piercer to be built by Gold Coast Yachts and the first to be resin-infused out of our new split shell hull mold, Lucia was initially delivered to the Dominican Republic, but then was bought by a group in St. John, Virgin Islands. She is representative of the 49’ wave-piercers which can be set up as ferry, shuttle, and snorkel or dive boat. In most of those configurations she can carry 30 passengers with their luggage or their dive equipment. With the pair of 200 hp outboards, she can hit speeds as high as 27 knots and can cruise above 15 knots burning 5 gallons an hour per side of gasoline.
