Enjoy a day in Rhode Island with fellow CAP members on a 90 minute narrated cruise aboard the Ava Pearl. This
is a three year old catamaran which holds 150 passengers with two
viewing levels, outside sun deck seating, two clean restrooms, climate
controlled interior seating, and a full service bar/galley with light
fare. It is the newest, most luxurious sightseeing catamaran in the
United States today.
