2008 Trident 5012

The 2008 Trident 5012 is a 51-foot aluminum commercial passenger pontoon built with twin pontoons and powered by two Yamaha F115TXR four-stroke outboards rated at 115 hp each. The boat cruises at 11 knots and reaches 14 knots, with engine hours at 1,605. The aluminum hull has a beam of 12 feet and drafts 3.2 feet, giving it access to shallow waters typical of river and near-coastal operations.

The boat is configured and certified for commercial passenger service, accommodating 37 passengers plus 2 crew members. Layout includes an enclosed helm station with raised operator house, an enclosable canopy system for weather protection, and one marine head. The commercial-grade aluminum superstructure supports the passenger seating arrangement and was built to withstand regular service operations.

The boat carries U.S. Coast Guard documentation with Coastwise Endorsement and a Stability Letter. It has operated in Chicago River and near-coastal waters under its existing regulatory approvals, which eliminates the engineering and stability testing timeline required for new builds. The Yamaha outboard package offers nationwide parts availability and straightforward servicing.
