Piatella - High-Speed Glass Bottom Charter Vessel | Jet Powered, Shallow Water Capability

If you're looking for a unique, purpose-built charter vessel with strong commercial appeal and standout passenger experience, Piatella delivers a rare, high-performance opportunity. Designed specifically for tourism and charter operations, this vessel combines speed, shallow water access, and a distinctive glass-bottom viewing platform.

At the core of Piatella is a powerful Fiat 450kW engine paired with a Twin Disc gearbox, driving a Hamilton 322 jet unit. This setup provides exceptional shallow water capability, allowing access to areas that conventional prop-driven vessels cannot reach--ideal for reef, estuary, and eco-tourism operations.

Performance is a key advantage, with a wide-open throttle speed of approximately 35 knots. Combined with a well-balanced monohull design, the vessel delivers a smooth, efficient ride, ensuring comfort for passengers even at higher speeds.

The standout feature is the 32mm thick glass-bottomed deck, offering passengers a clear, dry-viewing experience of marine life below. This creates a highly marketable point of difference for charter operators looking to deliver memorable on-water experiences.

Designed for commercial use, the vessel can accommodate up to 12 passengers plus 2 crew, making it well suited to small-group, high-value charter operations. Flexible seating arrangements further enhance comfort and usability across different charter types.

This matters because vessels that combine speed, shallow access, and unique passenger experiences are increasingly valuable in the tourism and charter sector. Piatella offers operators the ability to differentiate, access more locations, and deliver premium experiences.

Piatella is a high-speed, jet-powered charter vessel with a glass-bottom viewing deck, shallow water capability, and capacity for 12 passengers, offering a unique and commercially attractive platform for tourism operations.
