Overview
The “Miss Leta” is a 28’ twin-engine boat designed for Denali Wilderness Safaris, operating in Alaska. It is used to transport passengers into remote areas of the Nenana River in Denali Park, offering unique river and wildlife viewing opportunities. The boat is equipped with Hamilton 212 jet units, suitable for shallow waters, and can accommodate 18 passengers with an aft viewing area. It features dual heaters, sliding side windows, and forward-facing bus seats for comfort.
Design and Performance
The boat's sled-shaped bow, forward and center helm seat, and short stroke mechanical stick steering contribute to superior handling in extreme river conditions. The delta pad bottom design allows the boat to plane quickly, enhances load carrying capabilities, and enables very shallow water operation.

  • Tour Operators: Capable of speeds over 50 mph, the boat's shallow draught allows access to remote areas.
