Name Queensferry

The QUEENSFERRY was built in 1934 and spent most of her life plying the Firth of Forth, as a passenger ferry and tour boat under the auspices of the Scottish Marine Safety Agency. In 1996, QUEENSFERRY was sold to a local marine entrepreneur and refitted by W.Y. boatbuilder Lenny Oliver at a boat yard on the River Esk, Scotland. The refit included an engine rebuild, re wire, and the wheelhouse moving to 3/4 aft. This enabled passengers to board across the foredeck.

In 1997, she was re-registered with the MCA with a reduced carrying capacity of 24. In 2016, she was purchased by her current owner, who had already been operating her since 2000. By then, her area of operation had increased to the maximum on a MCA Class VI vessel, lifting her capacity to 35. The QUEENSFERRY operates from her home port of Scarborough, from June to October taking out holiday makers on wildlife excursions and private charter work along with sea angling trips.
