While far from the largest boat in Prospect's waters, at just under 75' in length the Coracle's name is something of a joke. Rather than being a small wicker boat barely large enough to hold a single person the Coracle is a 2019 Sunseeker Predator 74, a boat capable of taking 8 guests and a crew of 2 well beyond the horizon and back. Its primary limitation for deeper waters is its lack of fuel storage which gives it a maximum range of around 330 nautical miles (nearly 380 standard miles) and its limited supplies of food and water.
While a flybridge is common on most boats of this size (and indeed, even older models of the Predator 74) this is not possible on this particular model. A large portion of the front glass canopy is capable of being slid back, much like the roof of a coupe, to open the cockpit to the air.
A Williams Sportjet 395 is stored in the tender garage and the small crew cabin has been given over to the storage of scuba equipment. It isn't that the cabin has been remodeled with racks and storage installed buy rather just that dive tanks, regulators, and flippers sit on the twin beds while most of the stowage has been filled with items such as wet suits, masks, weight belts, and other sundry but critical pieces of diving equipment.
The property of Dominic Noble it can often be found berthed at the King's Island Boardwalk Marina when it is not out in the waters around Prospect.
