Proudly serving as the largest overnight riverboat west of the Mississippi River, the American Empress delivers classic elegance and modern luxury on a grand scale. One step on-board and you will quickly discover that there is far more to this vessel than her welcoming appearance and signature red paddlewheel.
We just completed our biggest boat refit ever. We removed our old Yanmar engines and replaced them with new Nanni N4.50s. We did all the work ourselves while we were still in the water, fibreglassing new engine beds and then aligning the prop shafts before connecting the electronics up to the helm. We had a bit of a scare in our first sea trial when one engine suddenly died but it’s nothing we can’t overcome so join us on the journey as we figure it out and get back to sailing to remote islands again.
