Blount Small Ship Adventures
Samuel Booker's Company Details
Blount Small Ship Adventures, the original small ship adventure cruise-line, with over 50 years of experience in small ship cruising. Headquartered in Warren, RI, BSSA has long prided itself on offering a casual cruising environment for travelers who want to go where the big ships cannot. BSSA owns two 84-passenger vessels and takes travelers through unique waterways to destinations throughout the US, Canada, and South America.Built on a tradition of adventure, the company's founder Luther Blount, a prolific inventor and shipbuilder, began building boats in 1947 and then personally delivered them around the globe discovering adventure along the way. In 1966, Luther decided that he wanted to show his friends and family all of the incredible destinations he'd been exploring, so he began building passenger boats. With the mind of an engineer and the heart of an explorer, Luther built unique boats with patented features such as retractable pilothouses and bow ramps that allowed passengers to go from ship to shore. He later coined the term "small ship cruising". He created itineraries for explorers, for those who wanted to tread lightly, going beyond the usual tourist meccas finding experiences you can only have when you get to know a place through its people.
