"SeaQuest" is yet another high speed aluminium catamaran design from Paul Birgan and his team which incorporating fixed foils attached to the mini keels obtain extra performance. This 23.5 Meter vessel has a top speed of 31 knots and is operating as a passenger/dive vessel on the Great Barrier Reef for Deep Sea Divers Den in Cairns.
Tony Phisick of Deep Sea Divers Den says they are getting 4 more knots than their other vessels and 30% better fuel efficiency to the 2000 model designed by Paul. He is very happy with the finish and the quality of the fabrication, welding and fit-out on the vessel.
