The M/V Miss Kate is a classic Gulf Coast workboat that served for many years within the Central Boat Rentals fleet. Originally built in 1981 by U.S. Steel Shipyard in Larose, Louisiana, the vessel represents the rugged and practical design that has long been a staple of inland and coastal marine operations.
Miss Kate performed a wide variety of towing and support duties throughout her career. Her straightforward profile and distinctive Central Boat Rentals appearance make her a recognizable vessel to those who have worked throughout the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and surrounding waterways.
Each Hold My Boat model is individually designed and produced using photographs and reference material to accurately capture the appearance of the prototype vessel. Models arrive fully assembled and ready for display, making them excellent gifts for current and former crew members, family members, and collectors of working river and offshore vessels.
