The Captain JP III is a dinner boat, with three decks and a capacity of up to 600 passengers. Its two, climate controlled enclosed decks can seat up to 350 people for dinner, while still allowing plenty of room on the open-air decks for strolling or dancing the night away under the stars. Full-service bars and spacious dance floors are located throughout this extraordinary vessel. If sightseeing is your pleasure, the Captain JP III affords panoramic views from anywhere on board.
