Breathless II

[Crazy Hakim]

All,

Walked by Bayside Marina yesterday afternoon and guess what was sitting in the lift? Yep, Breathless, but not the old Breathless, this is the new and improved Breathless II

It's a used Hacker-Craft wooden boat, a little longer than the original (27 ft vs 24 ft) but it has a smaller rumble seat. Looks like only two "normal" sized adults will be able to squeeze into the back/rear seat.

Speaking to some of the CM's at Bayside Marina, I was told that the boat will not be able to book for a short while while the drivers are trained on the boat. May be as LONG as 90 days to get back into the WDW-PLAY system, and I could not get a definite answer to as when they will resume the rides during the day, but I would assume that that too will require a little training time.

I did not have my camera with me, but just as soon as I can get some photos I will link you up.

OK, I took a couple of photos of the new boat.
If you would like to see them, I need you to PM me your e-mail address.

Thanks for the update! We had heard about the Breathless leaving and we were hoping that it would be back. When we were there last month I didn't see anything but I'll keep my eyes out for the Breathless II on our next trip!

I was able to book the Breathless II today for an Illuminations Cruise next month. :cool1:

Well, currently Breathless II can be booked Tuesday thru Saturday only for IllumiNations and for Walk-up day cruises between 1:30pm and 5pm.
The full time driver Aaron was recently cleared to accept guests on the boat and the first guests went out on Tuesday night.
Now, Aaron will train a few more drivers and soon, Breathless II will be available 7 days a week.
