Marina Ousts Charter Company That Offers Topless Voyages

POSTED: 11:20 am EDT April 4, 2008

City officials in Fort Pierce have sunk future voyages with a charter fishing service that offers topless woman aboard.

Smokin' Em Charters was told to leave the city marina for violating its family-friendly atmosphere.

The husband-wife team of Kathi and Harold Coombes has run the company for eight years and started offering charters with bikini-clad or topless women in January.

In addition to regular boating duties, the women also prepare food and drinks.

The Coombes defended the tours. They said the women come aboard boats fully clothed and don't undress till the boat is three miles from shore.

Since being forced to leave, Smokin' Em Charters has moved to another Fort Pierce marina.
