Custom Catamaran for Coastal Operations in Ballina

Our New Vessel Has Launched

We're excited to announce that our new custom-built catamaran for coastal operations has officially been launched and is now entering the final commissioning and transport phase before arriving in Ballina. 

Built by High Performance Marine in Western Australia, this purpose-built vessel has been designed to deliver exceptional comfort, performance, and reliability in offshore conditions. Following a successful launch, the vessel is currently undergoing final fit-out, sea trials, and commissioning before making the journey across Australia to her new home on the East Coast.

Powered by twin Mercury Marine 400hp outboards, the vessel offers outstanding efficiency, smooth handling, and the capability required for safe and comfortable coastal adventures.

Throughout the build, we have worked closely with Jesse and the team at High Performance Marine, along with experienced naval architects, to customize the vessel specifically for our operations, with a focus on accessibility in marine tours. Particular attention has been given to passenger comfort and providing the best possible experience on the water.

The vessel features all-access boarding, including a dedicated wheelchair access door and boarding ramp, spacious deck areas, comfortable seating, and an onboard toilet, ensuring guests of all ages and abilities can fully enjoy their time on the water.

As commissioning progresses and the vessel begins her journey east, we'll continue sharing updates, photos, and videos so everyone can follow along. We can't wait to welcome you aboard and showcase this incredible new addition to Ballina Byron Marine Adventures and its waterfront.

The countdown is officially on.
