Name Radiant Queen

MFV RADIANT QUEEN was built in 1948 as VENTURA, a ring-netter, by Weatherheads of Cockenzie. She spent most of her working life in Scotland and Ireland as a fishing boat, where she was named ALISON between 1951 and 1958 and RADIANT QUEEN from then on. She did this until 1989 when her fishing registry was cancelled and she was converted to a dive boat. She spent from 1990 to 2015 working as a dive boat in the Scapa Flow where she was very popular amongst divers, with the owners adding a wheelhouse and saloon in the late 90s. In 2015 she was sold and used as a passenger vessel touring the Isle of Skye. 

She was sold again in 2020 and spent three years in Swansea Marina where she was not maintained and unfortunately deteriorated. In November 2023 she was brought back to Falmouth, Cornwall, by GH Pill of Cornish Pleasure Cruises, where she is undergoing a structural refit needing reframing, new decks, beam shelves and planking to put her back to her original standard and sea worthy.
