With over a decade of successful dolphin cruises and day charters, this boat has a proven track record. Inspired by the legendary Gulf Coast 'Biloxi' schooner, Julia Delecruz, built in 1924, the Daniel Webster Clements began construction in 1994 at Zirlott Boatbuilding Yard in Coden, Alabama, and was completed in 1998. Weighing in at 32 tons, she boasts a deck length of 54 feet and a sparred length of 72 feet, with a beam measuring 17'9". The vessel features a steel centerboard, allowing it to draw over six and a half feet when down and three and a half feet when up. Crafted from pressure-treated southern yellow pine, the mast and bowsprit are made of solid pressure-treated pine, while the booms, gaffs, and topmast utilize laminated spruce for optimal lightness. Inside, the bulkheads and tongue-and-groove paneling are also pressure-treated pine, complemented by beautiful white oak cabin flooring. Spacious side decks measure 40 inches wide, and the aft deck offers generous dimensions of 15 feet by 11 feet, providing ample gathering space for guests.
