As of my knowledge cutoff in October 2021, the Marina Buccaneer is not a well-documented or universally recognized boat model within major boating circles in the US. It's possible that you might be referring to the Buccaneer series of sailboats, or you may have a specific custom or lesser-known model in mind.

However, here's a generic outline for the specifications and description you might expect from a small to medium-sized recreational marine vessel like a sailboat or a yacht, often referred to as a "buccaneer":

Without the exact model name and more specifications, it's challenging to give a precise description. However, if the "Marina Buccaneer" is a craft known within a specific niche or club, you'd usually find a builder's plate or documentation providing specific details about that vessel. For more accurate information, please contact local marinas, sailing clubs, or boat builders in the area that might have more detailed records or knowledge of this specific model.
