2006 TRIDENT MARINE Passenger Tour Boat Confronta

Built by Trident Marine in 2006, River Skipper is a 13.71-metre passenger tour boat that combines practical design with established commercial operation. Originally registered in 2010, this vessel represents a unique opportunity for buyers interested in both recreational and business-oriented maritime ventures. The boat features USCG certification for 44 passengers and 4 crew members, making it well-suited for group tours and organized outings on protected waters.

The vessel is powered by twin 2017 Yamaha 115hp four-stroke engines, delivering efficient operation at a fuel consumption rate of 5 gallons per hour while cruising at 9 knots. River Skipper is built on 42-inch USCG-approved pontoons with a shallow draft of 2 feet 6 inches, allowing access to shallow waterways. The boat has been maintained with complete service records across its two-owner history and features a custom hydraulic rotating jack system for engine height adjustment. Navigation and entertainment systems include a Raymarine autopilot with remote control, a modern chart plotter, and updated audio systems, while the seating has been recently refreshed with waterproof-backed upholstery. Onboard power is supplied by a 2,000-watt inverter aft and a 1,000-watt inverter forward.

This vessel is ideally suited for buyers seeking an established, turnkey commercial operation in the passenger tour sector. The accompanying Riverside Tour Business brings a 10-year operational history with demonstrated revenue generation, making it attractive to entrepreneurs or investors looking to enter the marine tourism market. The business operates in a protected niche market with low overhead and established customer relationships among local retirement communities and assisted living facilities.
