Swiftships 103 Commercial Passenger Vessel
Picture a day of whale watching followed by a spectacular meal. Or, a passenger vessel transporting customers in style. Perhaps even a spacious liveaboard with an enviable upper deck to entertain from. These, and so many more, are possibilities for this converted offshore supply boat.
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. Plus, 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.
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.
Though work and upgrades on the vessel are substantial, the boat still offers a blank slate and a ready platform for the next owner. 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.
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.

With the recent upgrades, all with spectacular attention to detail, this boat is a unique opportunity for a new business venture or personal entertainment use. Read on to hear this vessel’s story, and why it’s not to be missed!
