Three Different Boats for You to Enjoy Your Time on the Water!

Helios

Helios is the flagship of the Solé fleet, handling our daily group excursions,  as well as 25 - 40 person Private Events. Built by Corinthian, she is a USCG inspected 45’ commercial power catamaran with twin engines, with a cruise approaching 20 knots. Her multihull design ensures maximum stability underway and also a gargantuan 16’ beam. Helios has a single level deck, covered seating, as well as twin eight-step boarding ladders that are 3 feet wide for maximum passenger comfort. Families will also appreciate the convenience of a private head on board.

For a premium guest experience, these complimentary items are included on all our Helios trips; snorkel gear, pool noodles, lily pads, footballs, frisbees, & volleyballs. Every Helios excursion features relaxing island tunes on the Bluetooth stereo as well as complimentary water / soda / sparkling water. Beer / High Noon / Wine / Mimosas are available for purchase to our 21 & up guests. To provide you with the most amazing experience possible, all Helios excursions are staffed by Solé Watersports with a Master Captain and at least one deckhand.

Neptune

Neptune is a 31’ USCG inspected multihull, twin engine vessel that is a great fit for private excursions of 1 - 24 passengers. Her 14’ of beam, covered single level deck, and cushioned seats provides plenty of room aboard. The 6’ eight step boarding ladder makes getting from the water to the boat a breeze for all ages! The 2000 watt, 6-speaker Bluetooth sound system really makes all trips a premium experience. All Neptune excursions are run with a USCG Captain and a Mate in order to provide the best possible service for our Solé guests.

Rob I

Rob 1 is a 22’ Robalo that is a perfect vessel for our 1 - 6 passenger private coastal voyages like the Sunset Cruise and Villas of Duck Key Excursion. She has an open bow with seating for 2 plus and additional seating for 4 passengers in the cockpit which is shaded by the bimini top. Our Rob 1 guests will enjoy music through the bluetooth stereo and complimentary water, La Croix, and sodas.

Neptune

Neptune is our smaller group boat. Nimble enough to run out to the sandbar, spacious enough for up to 25 guests, and 100% Solé fun! Perfect for a private charter when you have more than 6 guests.
