2012 Ferry 150 passenger

Built in 2012 by Scarano Boatbuilders in Albany, New York, this 75-foot ferry accommodates 150 passengers across two operational decks. The hull is weathering steel (Corten) with a steel deck and aluminum superstructure, giving the boat a robust, durable construction. Power comes from two MTU engines delivering 1,610 horsepower combined, with a maximum speed of 15 knots and cruising speed of 9 knots.

The layout features inside seating on the lower deck and outside seating on the upper deck, with a standalone pilothouse positioned on the upper level. The boat includes two heads. The hull received new paint in May 2020. Originally operated as a U.S. National Parks ferry and USCG inspected and certified, the boat was built for serious commercial service and reflects that heritage in its construction quality.

The aluminum cabin and wheelhouse sit atop the steel hull and deck, creating a practical two-level passenger vessel. This configuration supports multiple uses beyond its original ferry role, from tour operations to charter work to specialized maritime services.
