At 38.5 meters long and 6.4 meters wide, the boat can carry 150 passengers and withstand Level 8 winds, ensuring a stable 30-kilometer journey.
Thoughtfully designed, the Yu Zhong Ke 2180 features an expanded storage area capable of holding nearly a hundred bamboo baskets — the primary tools of the local farmers' trade. Inside, panoramic windows and a new air conditioning system have replaced the old vessel's drafty openness. Comfortable seating, non-slip decks and reinforced handrails reflect a deep focus on the safety of the elderly passengers who frequent the route.
