Rum Runner has been in operation since 2005 and they are locally recognised for their value, high standards of safety, professionalism and great meals prepared fresh onboard.
Rum Runner is a 20 metre motor sailing schooner built in 1984 with a nearly indestructible fiberglass hull. The vessel carries and sleeps up to 16 passengers in twin bunk and 4-share bunk cabins.
