1988 Fuentes Barranco Diego 17.76m Passenger Motor Boat for Sale

High-Capacity Commercial Passenger Vessel

This professionally maintained Fuentes Barranco Diego passenger motor boat represents a compelling acquisition opportunity for tourism companies, excursion operators and commercial maritime investors. Built in 1988, she measures 17.76 metres and is configured to carry up to 150 passengers.

Located in the Balearic Islands and registered under the Spanish 2nd Registry, the vessel is offered with documentation reported to be in order. Her next inspection is scheduled for 2027. Shipyard works, haul-out and maintenance were completed during April and May 2026, while the lower and upper bar areas were refurbished to improve the onboard passenger experience.

Construction and Principal Dimensions

The vessel has a traditional wooden hull and a substantial beam of 5.26 metres, providing a broad and stable operating platform. Her layout prioritises passenger circulation, crew workflow and generous social areas, making her suitable for sightseeing services, coastal excursions, private events, tourist transportation and other regulated passenger operations.

Machinery and Operating Capability

Propulsion is provided by two four-stroke Cummins diesel engines developing a combined output of approximately 515 kW. Power is delivered through twin shaft drives, providing dependable operation and effective manoeuvrability during docking and regular coastal service.

• Cruising speed: approximately 9 knots
• Maximum speed: approximately 14 knots
• Fuel capacity: approximately 14,000 litres
• Freshwater capacity: approximately 200 litres
• Steering: hydraulic
• Recent improvement: new propellers

The considerable fuel capacity supports intensive daily operations and extended coastal routes without frequent refuelling. Buyers should verify engine hours, serial numbers, gearboxes and complete machinery service records during technical due diligence.

Passenger Areas and Onboard Services

The accommodation includes one cabin, although the vessel is principally configured for high-capacity daytime passenger operations rather than overnight cruising. Refurbished upper and lower bars provide useful hospitality areas for serving refreshments during excursions, events or scheduled services.

The wide deck arrangement offers substantial room for passengers while allowing the crew to manage embarkation, hospitality and operational duties efficiently. The vessel’s commercial format can support multiple business models, subject to the applicable certification and operating permissions.

Electrical, Plumbing and Safety Systems

Equipment includes a battery charger, electrical panels, circuit protection and a 220V shore-power connection. Two bilge pumps support onboard water management. Freshwater distribution and sanitary systems are arranged around the requirements of passenger service.

All navigation, communication, firefighting and lifesaving equipment should be inspected and tested as part of the pre-purchase survey. Commercial operators must also confirm that the current equipment inventory satisfies the regulations applicable to their proposed service area and passenger number.

Survey and Transaction

A professional survey should examine the wooden hull, structural components, deck areas, machinery, new propellers, shaft systems, electrical installation, passenger facilities and safety equipment. A sea trial is recommended to evaluate the twin Cummins engines, steering, manoeuvrability and loaded operating performance.
