Missy Jo
Welcome Aboard!
We are happy that you have chosen Ship Harbor Yacht Charters and
the vessel Missy Jo for your vacation. We hope you enjoy your cruising
experience in the lovely islands of the Pacific Northwest.
We have named all our boats after our children and now our
grandchildren. We were to our third and fourth granddaughters Missy
and Afton Jo, so the boat is named the Missy Jo.
This manual will help you become more familiar with your boat. If you
have any further questions, about the boat or your itinerary, please do
not hesitate to ask the SHYC staff.
Remember our vessels are non-smoking boats. But feel free to smoke
outside the boats enclosures.
Bon Voyage!
The Ship Harbor Yacht Charters Staff
