Nepean Belle has recently completed both her AMSA out-of-water and in-water inspections. While on the hard stand, the owners took full advantage of the opportunity to carry out maintenance, and she is now back in the water looking as impressive as ever.

She glides along with the nostalgic charm and gentle churn of her dual paddlewheels, powered by reliable Kubota engines. With four rudders, she offers exceptional manoeuvrability--turning on a dime and remaining remarkably easy to handle.

It is truly a unique experience to cruise the water aboard a dual paddlewheeler.

The financials speak for themselves. At this advertised price you'd expect to pay alot more.  

Whether you are looking to expand a tourism enterprise, continue to grow a luxury river event space, or simply enjoy a working lifestyle on the water, this is a golden opportunity.  

This long-standing, locally beloved business of over 40 years in operation, is more than just a tourism business. It's a complete waterfront enterprise with diverse income streams, high-profile branding, and an unmatched lifestyle appeal.  

I encourage you to come and take a look.
