Despite a booming cruise passenger market, at least one of Dockyard’s bus boat tour companies has gone under, and the other is out of service.Businessman Nelson Hunt’s bus boat, or amphibious touring vehicle, was this week advertised for sealed-bid sale by Capital G Bank along with a number of repossessed cars.Mr Hunt, owner of Hunt’s Food and one of the Morgan’s Point developers, ran the bus boat under Shark Eye Tours.But it has not been in operation for some time.Mr Hunt could not be reached for comment on the reason for the bank sale.Shark Eye Tours ran 45-minute tours on its 40-passenger water bus costing $54 per a person, starting from the North Basin waterfront at Dockyard, near the ferry dock.The trip took passengers out on the water along the Great Sound and back on terra firma at Boaz Island main road, returning to the water at Mangrove Bay, and then back to Dockyard via Watford Bridge.The other bus boat belongs to Bermuda Island Tours & Chartering operator Dennis DeShields.He got the idea for the business after a trip to Boston, known for its Duck Tours.Mr DeShields said his bus boat business has not been in operation since late 2008 due to the economic downturn, and was currently “dormant”.“I might start it up again,” he said.He said it had not helped that two bus boat tour operators had been permitted in Dockyard. He also said he felt there needed to be more regulation of transportation in the West End, with mini buses, taxis and other transport companies all competing among each other and officials sometimes “turning a blind eye”.It is understood bus boats like these cost in the region of $500,000.
