Liya 30ft Fiberglass Passenger Boat: Engineered for Commercial Passenger Service

Designed as a revenue-generating asset, the Liya 30ft passenger boat is built to excel in demanding commercial environments:

Guided Marine Sightseeing and Eco-Tourism excursions.

High-Frequency Water Taxi and Port Passenger Transfers.

Island Hopping and Short-Route Ferry Services.

Private Charter and Event Group Transportation.

Commercial-Grade Construction & Performance

Unshakable, Safe Hull: 

The hull features longitudinal and transverse frames filled with closed-cell foam. This technology provides exceptional structural strength, inherent stability, and positive buoyancy, ensuring passenger safety and confidence in various sea conditions.

Low-Maintenance, Durable Deck: 

The fiberglass deck utilizes a rot-proof PVC core, replacing traditional wood. This creates a lighter, stronger, and completely waterproof walking surface that requires minimal upkeep, reducing long-term operational costs.

Smooth-Riding Deep V Hull: 

Manufactured via vacuum infusion for optimal strength-to-weight ratio, the deep V hull design ensures excellent wave-piercing capability and a comfortable, stable ride for passengers, reducing fatigue on longer tours.

Powerful & Efficient Propulsion: 

Configure with a single or twin outboard setup (300-400HP total) to match your speed and redundancy requirements. The substantial 500L fuel tank supports extended daily operations without frequent refueling stops.

Passenger-Focused Design & Custom Layouts

Two Efficient Helm Layouts: 

Optimize your operation by choosing the helm position that suits your routes:

Style 1: Center Console for balanced weight distribution and excellent all-around visibility.

Style 2: Starboard-Side Console for maximum port-side passenger space and a traditional pilot house feel.

Optimized Passenger Cabin: 

The cabin is outfitted with 20 standard, configurable seats (layout can be customized). Each seat is equipped with a personal storage compartment for belongings and a safety rail for security while underway.

Full-Safety Standard Package: 

Includes a full stainless steel safety railing system, a forward windshield, and a stern swim platform for emergency access or leisure stops.

Operational Customization: 

Add a large sun canopy (Bimini top) for passenger comfort, a PA system, or additional seating configurations to perfectly suit your business model.

FAQ:

Q1: What is the main advantage of the two different console layouts?

A: The choice impacts operation and space. The Center Console (Style 1) offers the pilot superb 360-degree visibility and balanced weight, ideal for maneuvering in crowded docks. The Starboard-Side Console (Style 2) frees up the entire port side for a wider, unobstructed passenger aisle or seating, which can be beneficial for boarding/disembarking or creating a more open cabin feel.

Q2: Is this boat certified for commercial passenger transport?

A:The boat is constructed to robust commercial standards (featuring foam-filled hull, high-capacity scuppers, full railings) that form an excellent foundation for certification. The final certification (like CE Category C or local equivalents) is typically obtained by the buyer or a local naval architect in the destination country, based on the specific equipment fit-out and intended use. We provide all necessary construction documentation to support this process.

Q3: How comfortable is it for passengers on longer sightseeing tours (1-2 hours)?

A: Designed for passenger comfort. Each seat has a backrest and rails, and the deep V hull ensures a smoother ride by cutting through waves. The option for a large sun canopy provides essential shade. The reduced hull vibration and noise from the foam-filled structure also significantly enhances comfort compared to standard hollow hulls.

Q4: Can we really customize the seating layout?

A: Yes, absolutely. While 20 seats are standard, we can work with you on the layout configuration. You might want fewer rows with more legroom, a mix of forward and aft-facing seats, or space reserved for a wheelchair or storage area. We adjust the deck fittings and seat bases during production to match your approved layout plan.

Q5: Why is the 500L fuel tank important for a passenger boat?

A: In commercial service, time is money. A 500L fuel tank means you can complete multiple full-day tours or countless short taxi runs without returning to the fuel dock. This maximizes your vessel's uptime, simplifies logistics, and ensures you never have to cut a tour short or delay a transfer due to fuel concerns.

Q6: What maintenance does the PVC-cored deck require?

A: Virtually none, which is a huge operational advantage. Unlike wood-cored decks that can rot and require costly repairs, the PVC core is completely impervious to water. It will not rot, delaminate, or absorb moisture. Routine cleaning is all that's required, leading to significant long-term savings on maintenance.
