The Black Marlin

The Black Marlin is a 50 feet Legend that was originally designed by Jacques D'Unienville and enhanced by Igor Van Nuwenborg, a naval design constructor with the G.R.N.W. shipyard at Pointe aux Sable in Mauritius.

It is specially designed for the Rodriguan waters where the average annual winds are 18 knots and the wave height is 2.50 metres. The Black Marlin set sail for the first time in February 2005. The level of comfort on board is outstanding and its numerous customised features make it very easy to manoeuvre. The Black Marlin has a carrying capacity of 16 people.

Six fisherman and accompanying friends will therefore feel perfectly comfortable in the boat.
