Gugel, president and CEO of New Jersey-hased Atlantic Cash Express, Inc. has announced plans to operate two Seacoaster, oceangoing passenger/vehicle cruise ferries along the eastern seaboard domestic trade route between ports in Florida and the northeastern U.S. beginning early 1994. Each vessel will accommodate 912 or more passengers and eight cars, traveling at speeds of 62 to 65 knots. One of the vessels will have its homeport in New York City, where it will travel four hours to Boston then return to New York. The vessel will then cruise to Cape Canaveral, Fla., in just 12 hours. Mr. Gugel's ferries are designed for both comfort and speed. Each sister ship is a three-hulled catama- ran with the technology of a surface effect ship. The ferries will measure 328 feet by 90.2 feet. The vessel will have three decks which will include a wet bar, restaurant and night club. Additionally, each vessel will be equipped with international and do- mestic phone and fax service, and personal computers for use by its passengers. For more information contact Richard A.
