SUNSHINE II

This process utilizes wood that is flexible, straight-grained, and carefully seasoned. “Sunshine II” was constructed from native pine, oak, and cedar, hand-selected by local woodsmen and sawn to exact specifications. Wooden boats are peaceful, as they absorb sound rather than amplify it. “Sunshine II” embodies craftsmanship without pretension. From coastal cruises to island picnics, harbor tours, and fall foliage excursions, our customers can enjoy some of life’s greatest moments aboard our Pulsifer Hampton. “Sunshine II” is not a speed boat—you will travel at a pace that allows for relaxed enjoyment of your surroundings. The boat’s easy motion is remarkable, offering a comfortable, secure sense of well-being. It is truly a work of art, both in design and construction.
