Welcome aboard Toot Suite
We are happy you have chosen Anacortes Yacht Charters for your vacation. We are sure you will
enjoy cruising the lovely waters of the Pacific Northwest.
We hope you will enjoy your time on Toot Suite as much as we do. You will find Toot Suite is
very maneuverable and easy to pilot in close quarters.
Toot Suite cruises very economically at around 8-10 knots but has the power to reach up to 20
knots if necessary. The open interior and large windows will give you 360-degree visibility and
make Toot Suite feel much larger than she is.
Toot Suite has a full galley including a microwave and 6-bottle wine/beverage cooler.
We trust this manual will help you become familiar with the boat. If you have questions about the
boat, or about places to visit, please do not hesitate to ask the AYC staff.
