Cheetah’s new walk-around cabin workboat

The new workboat combines the practicality of a workboat with all the option of a high-end finish, in order to widen the market of the vessel.

“Our latest Walk-Around Cabin represents a ground-breaking fusion of workboat practicality and yacht-like high-end finish, designed to cater to a wide range of activities, from crew transfer vessels to corporate events,” said Ed O’Kane, general manager at Cheetah Marine.

“Safety is at the forefront of our design, and we are pleased to confirm that our customized catamarans also meet the highest standards of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency’s newly released Workboat Code 3.”

Fluid Water Taxi

Featuring a wealth of standout features, Cheetah Marine’s Walk-Around Cabin has been customised for the recently launched Fluid Water Taxi company.

The vessel includes a fully bespoke internal cab with generous seating for 12 passengers or guests, alongside a customised hull and branded cab.

Currently operating an on-demand water taxi service on the south coast, Fluid Taxi has commissioned a fleet of Cheetah Marine catamarans to operate across a variety of destinations, including across the shores of the Solent and beyond.

The fleet meets the Maritime and Coastguard Agency’s (MCA) current MGN 280 Code for small boats operating commercially with 12 passengers, with the primary aim to ensure the highest standards of safety and protection are met for all on-board.

Features include a watertight weather deck, reinforced hull, robust guardrails and tinted windows.

Cheetah Marine has also just delivered a vessel to the new Workboat Code Edition 3, which provides important standards, such as for the construction, electrical systems, fire protection, as well as provision of firefighting, lifesaving, navigation and radio equipment.
