Howdy Eidelman Sternwheeler Jack Sarin 1990

Discover a remarkable piece of Oregon's history with the Willamette Queen, a stunning 1990 sternwheeler designed by renowned naval architect Jack Sarin. This vessel embodies the charm of Oregon's rivers, offering a unique opportunity to own a thriving business. The Willamette Queen is fully operational and ready to host weddings, corporate events, brunches, or serve as a delightful waterfront restaurant. With valid food and liquor licenses, this well-known vessel has been featured in numerous articles and is highly regarded in Salem, which is eager to maintain it as a key tourist attraction. A marine survey from late 2018 valued the vessel at $800,000, but you can acquire both the boat and the business for a lower price! After 24 successful years, including navigating through the challenges of COVID, the current owners are retiring and looking to pass the Willamette Queen to new, fortunate owners. The vessel can accommodate 101 diners and up to 109 guests, and is Coast Guard inspected. It features a full bar and kitchen to cater to any event you can imagine. The Willamette Queen is a popular wedding venue and is perfect for river cruising brunches and private dinners. Captain Richard expertly navigates using hydraulic paddle wheels and thrusters, while Ms. Barbara manages the kitchen and bar. The boat comes with an array of linens, chair covers, and decorations for various events and holidays. Additionally, several vehicles are available, including a 1999 Lincoln Limousine, a 1989 Ford Shuttle Bus, and a 50' Double Decker Parade Float styled like a sternwheeler. This established business offers a promising future for new owners, with support from the city of Salem even if operated solely as a restaurant.
