This commercially active 14.35-metre passenger and tourism monohull in Andalusia, Spain, offers a distinctive acquisition opportunity for buyers seeking a practical vessel with traditional styling, existing commercial relevance, and strong passenger-service flexibility. Built in 1995 and registered under the Spanish 2nd Registry, the vessel is reported to have documentation fully in order and is currently operating. With a certified passenger capacity of 57 persons, she is suitable for sightseeing operations, river cruises, harbour excursions, private events, guided tours, floating hospitality concepts, and tourism transport services.
The vessel measures 14.35 metres in length with a beam of 3.66 metres, giving her a manageable operating footprint while still providing meaningful carrying capacity. Her monohull configuration offers predictable handling and efficient movement through suitable rivers, harbours, marinas, sheltered coastal areas, and restricted waterways. The wooden hull construction gives the boat an authentic maritime character that can be used as a strong marketing advantage for tourism businesses seeking a warmer, more memorable guest experience than a standard fiberglass passenger vessel.
Passenger-Focused Design
The layout has been arranged around commercial passenger use, supporting circulation, sightseeing visibility, boarding, disembarkation, and operational practicality. Certified for up to 57 passengers, the vessel can support multiple business models including scheduled tours, private group bookings, educational trips, sunset cruises, regional sightseeing, eco-tourism outings, cultural heritage cruises, and event-based charters. Her classic presentation gives her immediate visual appeal and allows operators to create an identity around traditional maritime experiences.
Propulsion and Mechanical Reliability
The vessel is powered by twin inboard Cummins diesel engines connected to a shaft-drive propulsion system and producing a combined output of approximately 265 kW. This diesel shaft-drive configuration is well suited to commercial passenger use because it is durable, serviceable, and mechanically straightforward. The twin-engine layout also provides additional manoeuvring confidence and redundancy compared with a single-engine configuration, an important operational benefit when carrying passengers in confined or busy waterways.
Fuel delivery is managed through a diesel injection system designed to support consistent engine response and reliable low-speed operation. The vessel cruises at approximately 5 knots, making her ideal for sightseeing and relaxed passenger experiences where comfort, stability, and scenery matter more than high-speed transit. Hydraulic steering improves helm response and reduces steering effort during docking, route adjustments, and navigation through restricted waterways. The machinery arrangement emphasizes accessibility and practical maintenance rather than complex technology, which can help reduce ownership difficulty for commercial operators.
Electrical and Utility Systems
The vessel includes a 220V shore power connection, allowing dockside electrical supply for onboard systems while berthed. This supports operational readiness, lighting, charging, maintenance, and general service needs. The boat is also equipped with an onboard WC facility compliant with applicable regulations, a key requirement for commercial passenger service and guest comfort. The existing configuration is functional and commercially oriented, leaving room for future upgrades depending on buyer preferences.
Navigation and Operations
Navigation equipment includes GPS, supporting positioning, route planning, and daily operational control. The helm station is arranged for practical vessel handling and clear navigation workflow, while hydraulic steering improves control during low-speed operation. Although luxury features, cabins, advanced hospitality systems, radar, AIS, autopilot, VHF, and entertainment systems are not specified in the available inventory, the vessel’s core strength lies in her commercial practicality, traditional aesthetics, and operational simplicity. Buyers may upgrade navigation, passenger seating, shade systems, audio equipment, lighting, or branding features to match their business concept.
Commercial Opportunity
This vessel is especially attractive for tourism businesses that want a recognizable and memorable operating asset without moving into the higher cost and complexity of larger passenger craft. Her wooden construction can be positioned for heritage-style cruising, guided river or harbour tours, cultural excursions, private celebrations, hospitality partnerships, or boutique marine experiences. The vessel’s current operating status gives prospective buyers an opportunity to evaluate an active passenger platform rather than an untested or inactive project.
Due Diligence and Purchase Process
Buyers should complete a professional marine survey, sea trial, engine inspection, hull condition assessment, and documentation review before final purchase. Specific inspection areas should include wooden hull integrity, framing, planking, underwater sections, shaft systems, rudder arrangement, steering system, fuel delivery, engine mounts, cooling systems, electrical wiring, shore power connection, WC system, antifouling, safety equipment, and compliance documentation. Buyers should also review local licensing, insurance, passenger operation permissions, tax obligations, and VAT considerations according to the intended operating jurisdiction.
The acquisition process may include structured negotiation, deposit arrangements, escrow handling where applicable, inventory verification, survey conditions, and delivery coordination. Depending on operational objectives, the buyer may choose to add cosmetic improvements, passenger comfort upgrades, seating refinements, decorative branding, sound systems, or tourism-focused enhancements. For commercial operators, private investors, or hospitality businesses seeking a 57-passenger vessel with active documentation, classic wooden character, and immediate operating potential, this Andalusia-based tourism monohull offers strong practical value.
