ZODIAC CRUISING -- 30-DAY

Zodiac Cruising

The title Zodiac is used for a lot of different types of pontoon boats. It is also a brand of craft that starts at about USA dollars, $11,000.00. The argument is that the Zodiac pontoon craft may be more important than the cruise ship when you sign up for an expedition.

A nice Zodiac is the Mark 5. It is a heavy duty, rigid hulled cruise vessel. As an environmentally friendly vessel it will get you closer to the sea and land life with its Yamaha 4-stroke engine.

Used in the polar regions, they come with durable synthetic rubber which resists damage when pulling onto a stone or gravel base. Kayaks are also made of this type of material. Pontoons on the Zodiac are built with different chambers which keep the boat floating under adverse circumstances such as a puncture. Comfort for passengers is created by rigid floors and specially shaped hulls; ending in a safe ride combined with maneuverability and speed.

Now you understand the craft you are about to depend on, let's go out and take a ride. The kayakers will depart first. Kayaks will be drawn up against the Zodiac and paddlers will sit on the side of the Zodiac and shift themselves over the side down into the kayak in a safe mount. Then passengers will take their seats.

There is a short film to teach you the basics of Zodiac cruising. Then, we will commence a cruise. During the cruise keep a sharp look out for seals and other marine life that may approach to look us over. Be especially attentive to how calm and smooth the waters around us will be. There is seldom as peaceful and quiet a place as these waters and land can be.

Keep your cameras dry and enjoy the cruise.
