2018 Parker 1000 Baltic "Spirit of Tortola"

Spirit of Tortola is a custom-built Parker 1000 Baltic, built in Poland in 2018 for Virgin Islands Search and Rescue in the British Virgin Islands. These boats are well known for handling rough seas and bad weather extremely well.

This vessel can be used for many different purposes, including day charters, resort shuttles, rescue work, or law enforcement. It is rated for 18 passengers, making it a great option for a small resort or private shuttle service.

The sale also includes an extra set of tubes worth around $25,000 USD. The current tubes are still in excellent condition, so the new owner likely will not need to replace them for many years.

Spirit of Tortola is a strong, reliable, and versatile vessel ready for commercial or private use.

Accommodation

The Parker 1000 Baltic is capable of accommodating up to 18 passengers. Spirit of Tortola is currently configured more comfortably for 12 passengers, featuring six saddle-style helm seats, a square-shaped bench seat at the stern, and additional seating forward.

Owner's Comments and Boat History

Spirit of Tortola was commissioned in 2018 to serve as a search and rescue vessel in the British Virgin Islands for the non-profit organization VISAR. She served the organization faithfully until 2024, when VISAR upgraded to a newer vessel.

Throughout her service life, she was professionally maintained by the VISAR team and stored inside a hangar on a lift, protected from both the sun and water when not in use. Her current owner purchased the vessel directly from VISAR and has enjoyed using her as a day boat throughout the BVI over the past several years.

Now offered for sale, Spirit of Tortola represents a unique opportunity to acquire a proven, commercial-grade vessel with an exceptional maintenance history. The owner is open to offers.
