Galene
Meet Galene, a 1968 Columbia 36’ built in nearby Portsmouth, Virginia. On the brink of being forgotten and destroyed, Captain Clay acquired Galene in 2017 and spent three years on a total refit. Outfitted with modern amenities and safety equipment, yet still maintaining her classic look, Galene is ready to get you on the water with comfort and style.

Heating/Cooling: A diesel heater provides warmth in cool months and fans located throughout the cabin and in each berth provide cooling.
