ABC Reef Safaris has announced the launch of its new custom-designed vessel, Voyager (pictured), which will mark the first new reef tourism vessel in Port Douglas since 2018.
Set to commence operations on 01 Dec, Voyager is designed to carry a maximum of 24 guests in premium comfort, offering an intimate journey to the Great Barrier Reef.
With a 6:1 guest-to-crew ratio, passengers will enjoy a curated experience led by ABC Reef Safaris’ team of marine biologists, naturalists and master reef guides.
The development of Voyager was made possible in part by the Queensland Government’s Growing Future Tourism Fund, which supports innovative tourism projects that enhance the state’s visitor offerings.
“Voyager embodies everything we love about the Great Barrier Reef, its beauty, its fragility, and its ability to inspire,” said Jay Wink, owner of ABC Reef Safaris.
“We wanted to create a vessel that not only delivers the highest standard of comfort and service but also deepens our guests’ connection to this extraordinary natural wonder.”
Wink added, “We’re incredibly proud to be contributing to the next chapter of reef tourism in Port Douglas”.
“With Voyager, we’ve designed an experience that reflects the sophistication and expectations of modern travellers while staying true to our sustainable and educational roots.”
The vessel will be formally launched today at a ribbon-cutting event at the Port Douglas Yacht Club. JM
