SeaArk Marine built this crew boat for the Army Corps of Engineers. She can carry 24 passengers, and a crew of two. She is based in Little Rock, Arkansas, and operates on the Arkansas River.
 
While similar to a crew boat, this 55-footer built by SeaArk Marine was intended to support supplies and campers to a summer camp on Lake Huron. One unusual requirement was the ability to carry canoes lashed to the housetop. More commonplace requirements were economy of build and operation and good seakeeping abilities, as Lake Huron is big and potentially rough. The Hunt-SeaArk collaboration has satisfied all these requirements.
 
This 85-foot tour boat was built by SeaArk Marine for sightseeing and charter use on protected inland waters. The hull with maindeck cabin was trucked to Arizona where the partial cabin and bridge-deck second level was attached. Efficient hullform and the ability to operate smoothly when lake conditions deteriorate were important considerations; this vessel also had to meet ABS standards for passenger carriage.
