Overview
About this vessel
AMETHYST is a Coast Guard Inspected Vessel, currently hauled out at Bay Marine Richmond for topsides and bottom paint as of April 2026.
The vessel is USCG certified as a 100-mile boat and licensed to carry up to 42 passengers. In 2020, Amethyst underwent a major mechanical retrofit, including the installation of new Volvo Penta D8 engines paired with ZF transmissions with trolling valves, significantly improving reliability, efficiency, and performance for charter operations.
Previously operating as Seabass, and before that as a commercial tuna vessel, the boat benefits from a robust commercial build. One of the lazarettes remains insulated and configured as a fish cooler, ideal for high-capacity fishing trips.
Performance & Condition
The vessel achieves a comfortable cruising speed of 18 knots with a maximum speed of approximately 24 knots. Recent topside inspection has been completed, and the vessel is in compliance, actively operating, and revenue-ready.
Layout & Accommodations
The boat features two marine heads, sleeping accommodations for up to 12, and four additional interior spaces suitable for storage, crew, or operational use. The main cabin includes a new seating layout designed to increase passenger capacity.
