The Ship

She has 700 square feet on the main, interior deck and another 700 on the canopy covered second level. 

The Lily is equipped with a bar, heating and air conditioning, two washrooms and a serving galley.  She has a forward gangway that can be used to load or unload passengers from the front.   The wheelhouse (pilot house) is located on the upper deck giving the Captain the best view possible of the river and surroundings.

The Lily is driven by two propellers powered by two John Deere Marine diesel engines, and has a separate 25,000 watt diesel power generator.  The engines and generator were installed new in the spring of 2015, ensuring the ship is ready to run, meeting the highest environmental standards available, for many years in the future.  She is registered at 107.5 gross tons, is over 64 feet long with a 20-foot beam and draws just under 4 feet of water. Her cruising speed is about 5 knots, and she is equipped with GPS, Sonar, Marine VHF Radio and hydraulic steering.
