Broker's Comments:
The improvements made to this vessel since 2019 are staggering - new paint, new plumbing, new wiring, new and larger windows, new mahogany interior, new LED lighting, new ballast and a corresponding increase to the upper deck capacity, new appliances, and more. These improvements make this boat a nearly-ready and straightforward opportunity to make your on-the-water goals a reality.

With a large top deck, spacious main cabin, and re-envisioned galley, this boat has the layout necessary to operate as a dinner cruise platform or provide other passenger service. The five staterooms on the lower deck offer the potential for extended voyages (this vessel is certified to carry up to twelve passengers on international voyages).

Though work and upgrades on the vessel are substantial, the boat still offers a blank canvas and a ready platform for the next owner. Key design decisions that would depend on the boat’s final purpose are yet to be made – from the flooring in the main deck cabin, to seating arrangements for guests or passengers.

Built in Morgan City, LA in 1974 this vessel first proved itself in the offshore oil industry before entering service as a passenger vessel in Boston and then later in the Pacific Northwest.

The current Certificate of Inspection allows for 130 passengers, and requires 3 crew - a master and 2 deckhands. Three main engines provide a good degree of control and maneuverability.

Gross tonnage is documented at 96 tons. A displacement of ~77 tons allows for haul out at many yards via Travelift.

If desired, the new owner can purchase the LLC which owns the vessel - thereby obtaining the rights to (1) lease the 110 foot private dock in Squalicum Harbor Marina (steps away from ample parking) and (2) a liquor license issued by the city.
