R/V Lady Lisa

The R/V Lady Lisa is a 75’ St. Augustine Trawler. Built in 1980, she is powered by a 415 HP, 12-cylinder Caterpillar Engine and is capable of towing two 80’ trawls. The vessel has accommodations for 4 crew members and 6 scientists and is capable of staying out up to 10 days. There is plenty of dry storage space for gear and cold storage space for samples. The R/V Lady Lisa is the primary sampling platform for several state and federal projects, working mostly in near coastal waters between Cape Hatteras, NC and Cape Canaveral, Florida.
