At ''home'' on the Bryant's Majestic-built yacht The type house boats being built by Majestic Yachts in Columbia might also be called mansion-boats because of their size and incredible interiors. Sea Quence VI is an example of that, a boat that is just about ready to go home with its owners, Steve and Cheryl Bryant, who welcomed visitors in an open house last week. Visitors got to explore the luxurious main cabin, second floor party deck and the sun deck above that. The Bryants will live full time in their boat on the Mississippi River. They have a 24' x 90' boat slip where their 18' x 90' home will dock in Inver Grove Heights near St. Paul, Minnesota. They have lived on boats before but never full time. This sixth boat in their sequence (from whence comes its name) will be their only home now. They have been staying in Columbia for the past few weeks picking out colors and textures and pouring over details of finish-up just as they would a land home. The Bryants have three grown children, Amy, Tom and Lacey who will enjoy visits with them on their new home, but Steve and Cheryl say no one gets to live on the spacious boat but them. Majestic yachts, now employing around 20, is projected to grow even more after a bypass is built which will allow for expanded delivery potential. One of the most time-consuming parts of any delivery now is getting around Columbia's public square. "We get our routes with permits from the state," says Jim Hadley, "and usually we are routed to the square, one fourth the way around it, and out Jamestown Street to the parkway. That's only about a half hour hold-up. However, as in the case of the Boblitt boat, the largest ever built here, we had to go half way around the square to get to North 55 and then to its home on Green River State Dock. The boat took five hours, times many men, just getting around the square." For more details, visit their website: majesticyachts.com or e-mail them at: sales@majesticyachtsinc.com -- we hope to have more stories on this exciting business as they grow.
