SV Marabel

The Oak Bay Marine vessel Marabel is up for sale, not sail. Spartan berths for approximately two dozen guests have been made ready, the dining room is set but not for another salmon fishing outing, rather for a prospective buyer.  The SV Marabel will not fish again with Oak Bay Marine.  Neither will Salmon Seeker, a sister ship in the fleet and also docked at April Point.  At the moment, the Princess Charlotte remains commissioned for remote fly-in fishing. The antiquated ships at the dock are in need of upgrades including the addition of holding tanks for compliance with eco regulations. A potential buyer will review the ship tomorrow. There is much excitement and curiosity about the deal and future intentions.
