1980 Thompson Passenger and Dive Trawler

This 1980 Thompson trawler was built for commercial fishing in fiberglass with heavy layup construction designed for extended working use. A single 250-horsepower Detroit diesel engine powers the boat at a cruising speed of 9 knots, with a maximum speed of 10 knots. The vessel draws just 3 feet 2 inches, making it suitable for shallow-water operations and restricted areas.

The 31-foot-6-inch hull with a 13-foot-2-inch beam accommodates a USCG Certificate of Inspection for 25 passengers and 2 crew, with one head aboard. The deck layout reflects years of operational experience in the dive charter industry, with the wide beam and sturdy construction providing stability and working space. The shallow draft opens access to eco-tours and harbor work in many locations.

The USCG Certificate of Inspection was renewed in May 2025 and remains valid through 2030. The boat has seen two decades of recreational dive charter service under its current owner.
