Tarariverboat,
The common tourist/travellers Cambodia was so recently full of were very keen to get from PP to SR or visa versa. Cambodians and expats now stuck in the country might have more interest in side jaunts.
You know your business, not I, but might some of these sufficiently well off domestic tourists be interested in using your boats like (please choose a term less likely to invoke virus fears -and do the cleaning, and perhaps mask encouraging as circumstances might suggest.)... a Carabean cruise. Stop at the K. Chhnang island with the Mountain from Cambodian stories - Phnom Kong Rei) and let passengers go up to the waterfalls, caves and temple. Maybe stop at some floating villages? Have an eco talk before passengers board small boats for flooded forest bird watching. And etc. etc. They sleep, and often eat, aboard your mother ship, but you enable site visits they would otherwise never bother to do.
The idea has some merit. Only you can decide if it is worth trying. (Your normal opportunity costs, giving time and passenger space to uncertain and lower profit services, are no longer the same. Normal tourists are not here. If you can afford the risk, now might be a good time to explore new income streams.) However, easy for ME to say, it's not my time or money.
