We are offering our guided sightseeing tour and charter business that operates on Puget Sound out of Gig Harbor and Tacoma. 2025 Is our 18th. season. We were on 2023 Trip Advisor Top 7 Guided Boat Tours in the USA! In the Fall, we fulfill a contract charter to provide shuttle service at Husky Stadium for the 6 or 7 U of W Home football games each season. 2025 is our 16th. season as shuttle boats for U of W! This shuttle boat gig provides substantial revenue and extends our earning season nicely into the Fall.

This business comes with two (2) USCG certified passenger vessels. Our boats are each certified to carry 33 passengers plus one captain and one crew! Financials presented are with a paid captain and crew.

We operate daily, public, guided sightseeing tours and private event charters in Gig Harbor and Tacoma, WA in the Summer approximately between Mid-May and Mid-October. Revenues shown are from a very conservative operation by our choice. We run only one main, two-hour tour per day in Gig Harbor and about three tours per week in Tacoma plus private charters in both locations. There is a lot of room for development of this business.
This sale includes our two Ex-US Navy 33' x 10.5', "10 Meter Utility Boats" built by Willard in Los Angeles, CA in 1992 and 1994. Each boat is powered by a single Cummins 6B 5.9, non-turbo, 115 hp. engine. Both boat engines are original have about 4,000 hrs. Transmissions are 2 to 1 BW Velvet Drives.

"COI" Boats and the licensing of credentialed captains require multiple, specific annual and periodic inspections and certifications by the USCG. These are serious, federal inspections and oversight where there is zero-tolerance for non-compliance on regulations.
