MV Karina

The MV Karina is a single screw passenger vessel, which formerly operated from Douglas, Isle of Man for the Laxey Towing Company.

In 1957 the OTSC was wound up, and she was sold to the Millbrook Steamboat & Trading Company for £3,500, was renamed the MV Eastern Belle and was used on similar excursions, as well as a relief boat on the Cremyll Ferry.

[5] In 1988 she was sold to GH Riddalls & Sons of Dartmouth, renamed MV Totnes Princess and painted in their 'Red Cruisers' colours of red hull and white superstructure.

Under the command of local shipmaster, Captain Stephen Carter, the MV Karina's primary operation was to provide pleasure cruises for visitors.

[2][3] The Karina suffered some slight damage during a storm over the 2017–2018 winter, although by this time Carter had already decided to conclude the summer cruises at the end of the 2018 season.
