Ali Cat
The ideas began in 2012, when the first Ali Cat was sold. It was always going to be a 19.9 metre Catamaran in order to assist with our operations at Solent Forts, the Harbour Tours and assisting Wightlink Ryde Portsmouth.
After looking about at local boat builders, we were recommended Manor Marine in Portland.
The project plan was to have a hull and structure built, and completed to the level of a watertight floating vessel.
Once completed on 2015, we towed the boat back to Cowes and completed the fit out in house with our own staff and local businesses.
Completed in 2017, she is an all aluminium vessel, fitted out to the latest MCA requirements.
With internal seating for over 160, and outside for 130, her maximum capacity of 250 allows plenty of space around the ship.
She has bar for hot, cold and alcoholic drinks, as well as having toilet facilities (including one disabled).
Ali Cat is ideal for tours and excursions, and adapts easily for specialist charters such as Yacht Racing Viewing,Ship Tendering and Ferry services.
