Purpose Built Liveaboard Catamaran

Tropic Paradise is a purpose built catamaran that has proven extremely practical for previous charters of this kind. Depending on crewing requirements, the vessel can accommodate up to 12 guests plus crew for extended periods. The Tropic Paradise stands out from the rest with its large amount of open deck space, a shallow draft of 1m and stability.

Tenders Get You Ashore

There are 4 custom built heavy duty aluminium tenders (3 x 5m and 1 x 6m) together with a 5.5m Swift Marine Rigid Inflatable. Each of the tenders are individually registered in their own 2C Commercial Survey. This allows them to venture within their own limitations and are not restricted to the mothership. This is a huge advantage for coastal surveys, transporting people and supplies and day trips.
