FOR SALE: "Bundy Belle II" - Versatile 46' Premium Live-Aboard Opportunity, first couple of photos are AI rendered to show potential house boat configuration. She only needs you to move furniture onboard and has wheel chair access front and side.
Overview & Commercial Potential
The Bundy Belle II is a heavily built, premium plate-aluminium passenger vessel currently in 1E survey configuration for 68 passengers plus 2 crew. Designed by Aluminum Marine for exceptional stability, shallow-water tracking, and high maneuverability, she is powered by twin Iveco diesel engines paired with dual Hamilton Jet drives.
Whether you want to continue running a commercial business or execute a dream conversion project, this turn-key platform is structurally engineered to last a lifetime.
Multi-Purpose Charter Layout
Flexible Deck space: Movable and removable seating effortlessly transforms the saloon from a structured tour layout into a wide, open floor plan.
Profitable Event Hosting: Perfectly suited for weddings, parties, live bands, sunset cruises, or functions.
Turn-Key Hospitality: Includes an available Liquor License, expansive bar service area, massive built-in commercial fridge/storage spaces, and dual toilets (one fully accessible).
Premium Audio: PA system, wireless microphones, Bluetooth connectivity, and ample speakers throughout, driven by a powerful 3000W inverter.
All-Weather Comfort: Brand new forward deck aluminium canopy bimini recently installed.
The robust dimensions and flat aft hull characteristics make the Bundy Belle II an absolute prime candidate for a luxury live-aboard houseboat conversion.
Instead of starting with a flimsy fiberglass shell or standard pontoon platform, you are stepping onto a commercial-grade, heavy-duty aluminium ship built to coastal maritime standards.
Why It Makes the Perfect Houseboat:
Massive Single-Level Footprint: The wide 4.3m beam and expansive interior cabin space provide enough square footage to easily layout a spacious queen master stateroom, full wardrobe storage, a dedicated dining area, and a large residential lounge suite.
Ultra-Shallow Draft (0.45m): The flat aft sections and sharpie-type hull design let you explore, anchor, and live in shallow pristine creeks, hidden bays, and tidal rivers that are entirely unreachable by traditional deep-draft vessels.
Superior Maneuverability: Standard houseboats are notoriously difficult to steer in windy conditions. The twin 242hp Iveco diesels and Hamilton Waterjets give you effortless 360-degree close-quarters docking control without external propellers to worry about.
Off-Grid Power System: Already equipped with an independent solar setup (250W panel, 140AH battery bank, and heavy-duty 3000W 12V inverter) to run domestic 240V refrigeration, electronics, and house systems away from the marina berth.
Substantial Capacities: Massive 1,700L diesel fuel capacity and 700L freshwater tanks ensure massive cruising autonomy without constant detours to refuel.
Frames: "L" section 10mm x 109mm athwartships frames set at tight 1020mm centres over 70mm x 10mm longitudinal stringers.
Safety Layout: Divided into 4 distinct watertight compartments with a forward collision bulkhead positioned safely underneath the helm/galley station.
