Focus on shipbuilding business
According to news reports, the Warren, Rhode Island-based company is going to focus on its shipbuilding business.
'Yes, this is confirmation that Blount Small Ship Cruise Lines has ceased operations,' Julie Blount, EVP of Blount Boats Inc., told TravelPulse. 'The Blount family is selling its three overnight cruise ships and putting all its emphasis on the family shipbuilding business. The reason was due to the coronavirus pandemic.'
Blount operates Grande Caribe, Grande Mariner and Niagara Prince.
WorkBoat lists vessel prices
Last week WorkBoat reported the 98-passenger Grande Mariner is listed at $6m, the 100-passenger Grande Caribe at $5.6m and the 76-passenger Niagara Prince at $2m.
