How fast is Scooby Doo Too?

Her top speed on sea trials when newly commissioned was 27.3 knots running with the tide.  However, it is cruising speed that matters and at 16 to 18 knots a level of comfort and fuel efficiency is best achieved.

Licence and Insurance

Scooby Doo Too has been certified by the M.C.A. (Maritime and Coastguard Agency) through a certifying authority (SCMS) for 12 passengers and 2 crew up to 60 miles from a safe haven.  This always raises a smile as the Bristol Channel is barely 13 miles across, thus there is nowhere in the Bristol Channel that is unreachable. The skipper holds a D.O.T Boatmasters licence covering the Bristol Channel. The vessel is insured with Navigators and General through our broker, Bristol Channel Marine Insurance Consultants.

Safety at sea

Your safety whilst on board our vessel is of paramount importance to us.The safety equipment that Scooby Doo Too carries is comprehensive and complies with the MCA's code of practice requirements. The vessels safety equipment is inspected on an annual basis. In certain instances we have chosen to equip the vessel beyond the MCA's legal requirements.For instance a single life raft is required. We felt that a raft could be damaged on deployment, therefore we carry 2 rafts [annually serviced] therefore ensuring greater safety for our passengers in the unlikely event of an emergency.
