USCG and IMO approved training facility
The Gray Manatee is fully compartmentalized with over 20 separate compartments, connected to both horizontal & vertical passageways. Additionally, the multiple watertight doors and hatches, an engine room complete with a marine power plant, galley, catwalks, and other design features provide the student with a challenging training environment.
