Tangalooma Island Resort introduce upgraded REEF CAT

High-speed Tangalooma Island Resort announced the addition of REEF CAT to its fleet. This iconic vessel, which once held the world record for pulling 100 water skiers simultaneously in the 1980s, has been revitalised to provide top-notch services to guests traveling to the resort and embarking on unforgettable whale watching adventures.

REEF CAT can accommodate up to 300 passengers with a mix of indoor and outdoor space across its three spacious levels, offering a blend of comfort and accessibility. The top level has a panoramic viewing sundeck with generous seating. The lower deck is fully accessible, featuring a disabled bathroom equipped with a baby change table, ensuring a welcoming environment for all guests. It also has a fully functioning bar with coffee and tea facilities and snacks. The Resort runs four scheduled return services from Brisbane to Tangalooma every day.

Having previously served as a passenger ferry in North Queensland, REEF CAT was acquired by Tangalooma in 2020. The resort has since invested AUD 4.5 million over two years to upgrade the vessel, integrating the latest in marine technology, state-of-the-art Rolls Royce engines, and enhanced passenger comforts.
