Dive Boats
Eagle's Nest - Town of Hempstead Marina, Lido Blvd, Point Lookout, NY,
No longer in operation! The Eagle’s Nest was designed and engineered by its’ captain. The vessel was built to these specifications, and USCG standards, by Henriques Boat Works in Bayville, NJ. The concept under which the vessel was designed incorporated stability, maximum comfort, and diver friendly functionality. The design and layout was a culmination of six years of practical research by the captain. We feel that this research has paid off in producing the most comfortable and functional dive boat on the east coast.
