An entrepreneur is seeking Waco City Council permission today to operate a riverboat on the Brazos River and develop a downtown landing where customers could board or enjoy a beer.

If the agreement is approved, Bryan Carter of Brazos Queen II LLC said he has a Missouri-based shipyard ready to build the riverboat, and he expects to begin tours next summer.

The 120-foot-long riverboat, called the Brazos Queen II, would be available for private functions and regular tours upstream to the confluence of the Brazos and Bosque Rivers, Carter said.

The two-level boat would have a passenger capacity of 150 to 200.

Carter said the project will bring community activity to a neglected portion of the riverwalk.
