About this boat
Peaceful Easy Feeling is the quick one in the fleet: a 32-foot center console Super Panga with twin Mercury 300 HP outboards on the transom. She gets you to the fishing grounds, across to a beach cove or around to a sunset spot in a fraction of the time the bigger boats take — less running, more of your hours spent actually doing what you came out to do.
Shade when you want it, sun when you do not. A full canopy covers the console and the seating area so nobody has to cook for four hours straight, while the wide bow is left open for anyone who does want to lie out. There is a bathroom on board, Furuno GPS and a fish finder at the helm, and a captain who knows where the fish are running this week.
She is the boat to book for a couple or a small family that wants range without paying for a flybridge — eight guests maximum, and she never feels crowded at six.
She is operated by Ol' Salty's Ranch, our boat-rental partner out of Marina Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit — the same three-boat fleet, the same captains and the same published rates.
