Wakeling Paddlewheeler - Turnkey Tourism Business For Sale

There are very few commercial vessels that capture the hearts of passengers quite like the Nepean Belle.

Proudly cruising the picturesque Nepean River for more than 40 years, this beautifully presented dual paddlewheeler has become an icon of Penrith and one of Western Sydney's most recognised tourism attractions.

Purpose-built by renowned Wakeling Engineering, the 19.96-metre aluminium paddlewheeler combines timeless charm with modern reliability. Powered by dependable Kubota diesel engines and featuring an exceptional four-rudder steering system, she is remarkably manoeuvrable and a pleasure to operate. Her distinctive twin paddlewheels create a truly unique cruising experience that continues to delight passengers of all ages.

Certified in AMSA 1E Survey for up to 178 passengers plus crew, the Nepean Belle is perfectly suited to scenic cruises, lunch cruises, weddings, corporate events, school excursions, private charters and special celebrations. Fully air-conditioned and featuring a licensed bar, she has been thoughtfully designed to deliver comfort, reliability and memorable experiences on every voyage.

The Nepean Belle has recently completed both her AMSA out-of-water and in-water inspections. While on the hardstand, the owners took the opportunity to carry out comprehensive maintenance, ensuring she presents in outstanding condition and is ready for her next chapter.

While the Nepean Belle is unquestionably the star of the show, she forms part of a highly successful, fully operational tourism and hospitality business being offered as a complete turnkey package. The sale includes the popular MV Penrith Platypus (The River Boat Bar), commercial tender, floating office, private slipway, workshop facilities, forward bookings, digital assets and an established business that has been successfully operating for more than four decades.

Whether you are an experienced marine operator, a tourism or hospitality business, or an investor seeking a unique commercial opportunity, the Nepean Belle represents far more than the purchase of an exceptional vessel--it is your opportunity to own one of Western Sydney's most iconic tourism businesses, perfectly positioned to benefit from the region's continued growth.


I encourage you to come and take a look.
