Amara Zee

The design of the ship is based on the traditional Thames River Sailing Barge blended with the best of contemporary marine and theatre technology. Her register was closed 2014-10-08. This vessel is no longer registered in Canada. This vessel arrived in Nanaimo British Columbia in July 2017 on the deck of a heavy lift vessel from St. Petersburg FL. The company’s website states that "The design of the ship is based on the traditional Thames River Sailing Barge blended with the best of contemporary marine and theatre technology. With its shallow draft of 1.2 meters and its self-lowering masts via on-deck winches the boat can access virtually any waterfront community. The Amara Zee incorporates the sailing masts and rigging for the scenery, light and sound equipment and special effects. The shows are staged on the entire deck, on the masts and rigging, on the water and land surrounding the vessel." The vessel was briefly registered in Canada as a yacht. Transport Canada required the Company to meet standards of a commercial vessel due to its function as a commercial theatre facility. Unable or unwilling to meet these standards the vessel was re–registered in the USA.

She continues to function in Canada under her new flag.
