About The Boat

Cruise in Comfort

The boat is a brand new 25 foot Rapid cat with two Suzuki 150HP four stroke motors. The hull is ideal for deep sea use due to its stability, speed, and spacious design. Its twin-hull structure offers superior balance and reduces rolling, making it more comfortable and safer in rough ocean conditions. The wide deck space provides ample room for passengers, equipment.. Additionally, the dual engines offer better manoeuvrability and redundancy for long offshore trips.
