Yes done this trip many times, we used to do a Phnom Penh to Siem Reap 2 day cruise,from Phnom Penh to Kompong Chhnang is far better and lots more interesting,the lake crossing is a bit boring
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.

yes we do a lot of tours for expats and locals, custom designed to suit there needs, a common request was people wanting to stay on the Queen Tara over night, so we recently put in 6 more cabins, ensuites,hot water and air conditioning, we are very flexible, we soon will have another boat for the islands so this will be fun, the touist will come back , we have just been busy with starting new trips and also exploring more locationsGuest999 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 12:58 amTarariverboat,

i have many boats, some have v shaped haul,some round and some flat, the flat bottomed haul of the Queen Tara is 1.5 mts but have other flat bottomed boats that can sit in 6 inches of water its only really a problem keel yacht coming from south china sea into phnom penh is in the mekong delta area, so u would have to pick your timing carefully to link up with the wet seasonFred Edwards wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 8:16 amWhat draught does you boat have and would a lifting keel yacht be able to get up to PP?tarariverboat wrote: ↑Thu Oct 29, 2020 8:11 amyes we do a lot of tours for expats and locals, custom designed to suit there needs, a common request was people wanting to stay on the Queen Tara over night, so we recently put in 6 more cabins, ensuites,hot water and air conditioning, we are very flexible, we soon will have another boat for the islands so this will be fun, the touist will come back , we have just been busy with starting new trips and also exploring more locationsGuest999 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 28, 2020 12:58 amTarariverboat,
