A&M Manufacturing, Alachua, Fla., designed and delivered a new event- space/tour boat to DFW Boat Ride, Rockwall, Texas, earlier this summer.
The 67'x28' Sapphire Star can carry 149 passengers and two crewmembers and is designed for hosting wedding cruises, company outings, diner cruises, and other private events.
“The fiberglass multihull vessel is designed to host events and up to 149 passengers which required assembly, disassembly, transportation from Florida to Texas, and reassembly on-site for a lake in Dallas, Texas,” said A&M’s sales manager Geoffrey Lardy. “The boat was delivered without rigging and rigged by the owner on location.”
The Sapphire Star has a 1' draft and is powered by twin Honda BF 150 outboards, giving the vessel a running speed of 6 knots.
Delivered in June 2024, the boat has an electric/hydraulic steering system, and capacities for 100 gals. of fuel and 80 gals. fresh water.
