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.

► Lagoon’s Premium division has already launched more than 50 units, testifying to customers’ enthusiasm for these very large catamarans built in small series production runs - but by a custom service - and justifying the design of even larger models… In concrete terms, it is the historic Seventy range that is being phased out to make way for the Eighty. There are few changes to the hulls, which have been slightly lengthened, but the deck layout and interior design are completely new. Aboard the Eighty 2, which we have just been taking an exclusive look at in Bordeaux, we find the famous opening in the hull topsides as first seen on the Seventy 7 - it acts as a terrace on the water in the Owner’s suite. Despite being proportionately narrower in beam than the Sixty, for example, the deck offers a flybridge of some 540 square feet (50 m²) that can be fitted out as desired, while aft, the platform connecting the sugarscoops covers 236 sq ft (22 m²)... Inside, you’ve got the choice of galley up or galley down. The Lagoon Eighty 2 will very soon be available in a power version under the name of the Eighty 3. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Builder: Lagoon Catamarans Architects: VPLP Design/Patrick Le Quément Interior design: Nauta Design Overall length: 81’11” (24.97 m) Hull length: 78’5” (23.91 m) Length at waterline: 78’3” (23.85 m) Beam: 36’1” (11 m) Draft: (1.9 m) Sail area: 3,683 sq ft (338 m²) Engines: 2 x 230 HP Fuel: 2 x 370 US Gal (2 x 1,400 l) Water: 2 x 211 US Gal (2 x 800 l) CE Certification: A14/B18/C24/D40 ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 600 multihulls tests!
