After nearly three months out of the water, Quicksilver’s Port Douglas-based dive and snorkel catamaran Silversonic has a unveiled a striking new look and new generation engines following a $1.66 million refit. The 29 metre catamaran now shines with a sleek aluminium finish and is powered by two new Rolls-Royce mtu 2000 Series engines, compliant with sustainable marine fuels. Quicksilver Group Managing Director Tony Baker said the transformation reflects both innovation and long-term commitment to sustainable operations. “This refit was a major undertaking and a credit to our incredible Engineering team and local marine contractors. Silversonic not only looks fantastic but will also operate more efficiently, with reduced emissions and improved performance - helping future-proof our fleet for years to come.” The major exterior makeover - stripped back to shining aluminium, is a nod to her name and Quicksilver’s signature flagship wavepiercing catamarans. This latest investment completes the transition of Quicksilver’s Port Douglas outer reef fleet to sustainable fuel-ready engines, reinforcing the company’s leading role in environmentally responsible marine tourism on the Great Barrier Reef. Quicksilver General Manager of Operations Travis Clarke said the upgraded engines also bring operational benefits. “Our vessels Quicksilver VIII, Quicksilver V, Silversonic and Poseidon now share the same engine series, improving efficiency and allowing easier maintenance across the fleet. It’s a win for sustainability and for smart operations.” Designed for adventure and comfort, Silversonic carries up to 90 guests (despite capacity for over 130) to explore three spectacular Agincourt ribbon reef sites daily. Two air-conditioned decks, a spacious dive platform, sun decks and a state-of-the-art ride control system ensure guests enjoy a smooth and unforgettable reef experience. Located on the edge of Australia’s Continental Shelf, the world-renowned Agincourt ribbon reefs are celebrated for their crystal-clear waters, spectacular corals and abundant marine life, offering some of the very best day boat diving and snorkelling experiences on the Great Barrier Reef. Silversonic has exclusive permits to visit over 35 World Heritage Agincourt reef sites, as well as a permit to swim with minke whales if encountered. About the new engines: Silversonic was repowered with two new generation Rolls Royce mtu 2000 series commercial marine engines (10V2000M72) - certified for HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) and other synthetically produced diesel fuels, and new ZF marine gearboxes.
