Fiberglass Passenger Boats News

Wesport Shipyard's 100-ft. Admiralty Wind has been chosen by Four Seasons Marine, in Alaska, to be its year-round vessel for two 38-mile round trips per day. The company already operates Westport fiberglass passenger boats on seasonal tours of the Inland Waterway. Admiralty Wind will make the two trips daily to Admiralty Island from Auke Bay near Juneau. The company transports miners to the island to connect with busses to take them inland to Kenicott Copper's Greens Creek Mine. Captain Robert Patronsky said, in addition to rugged dependability, speed is important for the service. The new 100 x 22.8 ft. vessel will have a cruising speed of 28 knots.
