Howdy Eidelman Sternwheeler Jack Sarin 1990

Discover a remarkable piece of Oregon's history on a contemporary vessel! The 1990 Jack Sarin-designed sternwheeler is a true reflection of Oregon's rivers, where boats like this once roamed. The Willamette Queen is a fully operational and profitable business, perfect for hosting weddings, corporate events, brunches, or serving as a dockside restaurant. With valid food and liquor licenses, this vessel is well-established and has been featured in numerous articles, making it a beloved tourist attraction in Salem. A marine survey from late 2018 valued the vessel alone at $800,000, but you can acquire the entire business for less! After 24 successful years, including thriving through COVID, the current owners are ready to pass the Willamette Queen to new stewards. Whether you want the whole business or just the vessel, options are available. Accommodating up to 101 diners and 109 overall, the Coast Guard-inspected WQ boasts a full bar and kitchen, catering to any imaginable event. Captain Richard skillfully maneuvers the vessel with hydraulic paddle wheels and thrusters, while Ms. Barbara expertly manages the kitchen and bar. The boat comes with a variety of linens, chair covers, and decorations for any occasion, including major holidays. Additionally, several vehicles can accompany the boat: a 1999 9-passenger Lincoln Limousine, a 1989 Ford 16-passenger Shuttle Bus, and a 50' Double Decker Parade Float designed like a sternwheeler. With guidance from the current owners, a new proprietor could thrive in this well-established business, even as a waterfront restaurant supported by the city of Salem.
