Orca I (II)

George Schneider (Email to Nauticapedia 30/09/2022) stated "In Seattle, there's new competition to Argosy Cruises, formerly Lynn Campbell's Seattle Harbor Tours. It markets as Salish Sea Tours, and at least gives the impression of being owned by first-nation people. Their boats are quite exotic, but if you look closely at ORCA II (1299146) you'll see the standard All American Marine layout, which in my opinion, makes for a rather clumsy sightseeing boat. The advantage of this design is its speed, which doesn't seem necessary for the kinds of cruises I've seen this pair of sisters performing. Perhaps if they leave Elliot Bay to look for sea life the speed will be an advantage."
