Ruling Passion is a US Coast Guard certified charter vessel for 25 passengers plus captain and crew. Designed by John Marples and James Brown and built in Virginia by her owners, she is a custom Constant Camber Trimaran design. She was repowered in 2016 with a brand new Yanmar 4-cylinder inboard diesel, new transmission and running gear. Two new welded aluminum fuel tanks were also installed in 2016.
Ruling Passion presents an excellent business opportunity for someone looking to start (or expand) a day sail charter company with live-aboard capability. Ruling Passion is the ideal day charter multihull with the versatility for day-long snorkel excursions, sunset sails, or bachelorette parties and she can easily head offshore for long-range bluewater passages. She has 2 separate cabins, a head with shower and a full galley. She sleeps 8 in 4 full-size berths and can sleep 2 more with the convertible dining table.
The COI is current, all safety gear is to date and she can be put to work in your charter fleet immediately. She has been very well-cared for by her owners and was running charters through the end of this summer on Block Island.
