Overview
About this vessel
Originally launched in 2001 as a commercial dive boat operating in Queensland, Rum Runner enjoyed several successful seasons in Cape Tribulation before relocating to Sydney Harbour in 2011. Since then, she has been operating continuously in the thriving Sydney charter industry, catering to private functions, corporate events, and harbour cruises.
Operating under AMSA Survey Class 1D (Passenger Vessel - Partially Smooth Waters), Rum Runner is licensed to carry passengers plus crew, making her an ideal platform for a wide range of commercial charter operations.
The business benefits from an established online presence and receives regular bookings via numerous charter brokerage and consolidator businesses. A significant advantage for the new owner is an existing long-term contract that guarantees bookings throughout the summer season for the next two years. This provides a reliable and predictable revenue stream before any additional marketing or charter bookings.
Rum Runner is currently berthed in Annandale, with the marina operator open to continuing the existing berthing arrangement for the new owner.
Offered for sale by her original owner after 25 years, this represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established commercial charter vessel together with a proven, profitable business operating in one of Australia's premier boating destinations.
