Yeah, there is the hornet. Quite frankly, i would rather wait a month for the stardust before going on the hornet. The hornet is much smaller, less clean, and looks pretty ghetto. I don't know about the crew as I haven't been on the boat since it left SeaLanding. The stardust is basically a kick ass boat and that's the bottom line. Even if you did get another half day at SeaLanding, it would still have a long way to go to compete with the stardust. How long is the boat booked? It shouldn't be chartered for too many weekends in a row, both saturday and sunday. Try to find out when the next open boat weekend trip is and go from there. There's also the Seahawk which is the 3/4 day and is also a very good quality boat. You might want to give that a try. If you've got the money go for the 1 day trip on the Seahawk and catch some white seabass.
