Description
Sealegs International worked in collaboration with Naiad Design (NZ) and Western Australian boat builder Kirby Marine to integrate its System 100 Amphibious Enablement System on three Naiad Eco-tourers for award-winning eco-tourism business Pennicott Wilderness Journeys.
The craft are used in Victoria’s largest coastal wilderness area, Wilsons Promontory.
The craft are the result of an 18-month project to design and build eco-tourism vessels suitable for amphibious operation on sensitive natural coastal environments and which satisfies Parks Victoria’s exacting tour operator and activity licence requirements.
The NAIAD ECO-TOURER is powered by twin 350HP Yamaha Outboards, and can reach speeds of 38 knots on water and 9KPH (5.6MPH) on land.
