About the Boat
Constructed in the Fall of 2015, the Scarlet Lady™ is one of the newest tour boats in the Coastal Bend area. Just under 50 feet in length the Scarlet Lady™ can hold up to 48 passengers comfortably with plenty of room and shade to ensure satisfaction on all levels. Being a catamaran style vessel, the Scarlet Lady™ can cruise comfortably through the waters of the Lydia Ann Channel without any worry of its passengers feeling motion sickness.
Also onboard, passengers can find a full bar where you can find some of the best Pina Coladas on the island and enjoy them while watching wild dolphins in their natural habitat. Built for comfort and excitement, the Scarlet Lady™ is the finest Dolphin Watch boat on the Texas Gulf Coast.
