The yacht MALU-KAI is luxuriously appointed with all possible amenities included for an unforgettable stay aboard this club flagship.  She is privately maintained and is currently one of the best yachts at Dinner Key Marina.  She is not available for standard charter service, only for luxury charters and membership use.  While her sleeping capacity can be extended to up to 12 berths in her economy mode, she is ideally recommended for DeLuxe parties of 6 or less, plus the crew.  The choice of multilingual crew depends on charterers' experience and should be determined and arranged for in advance.  She is only skippered by selected captains certified by the Miami Sailing Club.  Due to special insulation her interior is exceptionally quiet even when both main engine and generator are in use.  Her navigation instruments are the latest word in global positioning within 15 meters or less anywhere in the world.  Optional catering and steward service are available through the club's special selection.  International cuisine menus are offered for expert selection.  Her exceptionally shallow draft allows her to visit places seldom frequented by large yachts, both in Florida Keys and in Bahamas.

For daytime entertainment she carries an inflatable dinghy with outboard motor and a windsurfer with two rigs, one for beginners, one for experts.  Snorkeling and diving gear is aboard.  However, only internationally certified divers may use the diving equipment.
