Boat Description

Now this vessel is a rare offering, even amongst our listings! 'SKANSONIA' is a 1929 classic ferryboat that has been moored for some 20 years on the shore of Seattle's Lake Union. She has served as a premier location for weddings and other events, offering a unique waterfront ambiance that is classic, nautical, and eminently memorable. She was the first twin diesel electric ferry ever built, was owned by Blackball and the Washington State Ferries, and carried 32 cars plus up to 308 passengers between Gig Harbor and Tacoma before the suspension bridge was built. Retired from service in 1969, she has seen 20,000 weddings and entertained over 3 million on board since her current operations began in 1983. Now available to a new owner, SKANSONIA is a versatile business opportunity that would continue to earn her keep in her current mode, or be excellent as waterfront offices, restaurant, or even a sumptuous private liveaboard! $INQUIRE about the current pricing on this unique vessel and business combo opportunity...
