Unfortunately due to the circumstances currently surrounding the Dorset Belle, the only option available to Island Cruises is to sell her to avoid liquidation of the company, the bills have been mounting up and need to be paid, the lack of money due to the vessel not operating has been a major factor in this heartbreaking decision.
We have owned her for almost 5 years, made it through Covid and the recession but the last few weeks have been too much financially and mentally with lots of sleepless nights.
I have searched for a solution to keep her operating from Bournemouth but have drawn a blank. She was handed over to her new owners this afternoon, she will be deeply missed by us all.
On a positive note, her new owners are already spending time on her to get her ready for the remainder of the summer, we all wish them the very best for the future.
Fair winds and following seas old girl.
