LV378 - Piatella - High-Speed Glass Bottom Charter Vessel | Jet Powered with Shallow Water Capability
Piatella is a purpose-built high-speed glass bottom charter vessel offered for sale through QFB. Designed for tourism and charter operations, this vessel combines jet-powered performance, shallow water access, and a dedicated glass-bottom viewing platform. Operators seeking a vessel capable of delivering unique passenger experiences can contact QFB for further information or to arrange an inspection.
Powered by a Fiat 450kW main engine coupled to a Twin Disc gearbox and Hamilton 322 jet unit, Piatella is configured for shallow water operation where conventional propeller-driven vessels may be restricted. This setup supports access to reefs, estuaries, coastal waterways, and other locations suited to tourism and eco-tourism activities.
High-Speed Charter Vessel Performance
Piatella delivers a reported wide-open throttle speed of approximately 35 knots. The monohull design provides a balance of speed, handling, and passenger comfort, making the vessel suitable for commercial sightseeing, eco-tourism, and private charter operations.
Glass Bottom Charter Vessel Features
A defining feature of Piatella is its 32mm thick glass-bottom viewing deck. The integrated viewing area allows passengers to observe marine life and underwater environments from within the vessel, creating a distinctive tourism experience without entering the water.
Passenger Capacity and Commercial Operations
The vessel is configured to accommodate up to 12 passengers plus 2 crew. Flexible seating arrangements support a variety of charter formats, including sightseeing tours, eco-tourism experiences, marine education activities, and private group charters.
Shallow Water Tourism Vessel Opportunity
The combination of jet propulsion, shallow draft capability, passenger capacity, and glass-bottom viewing makes Piatella a specialised commercial tourism asset. Operators seeking a vessel that can access shallow-water locations while providing a unique passenger experience may find this vessel suited to a range of commercial applications.
