Each $1.5 million, 150-passenger high speed monohull has sleek, clean lines, is powered by low emission engines, and stabilized with Maritime Dynamics computer operated ride control systems. Designed by Jack Sarin, the Westport 95’ has a beam of 22’, a fiberglass hull and Arex core construction, two low emission MTU 12v4000 engines with a combined 4500 horsepower and hydraulic bow thrusters. These monohulls provide steady reliable service. Catalina Express updated these vessels with all new seating and interior enhancements in 2005. These vessels have two passenger decks. The main deck is outfitted with comfortable airline-style seats constructed by Beurteaux of Australia, and offers cabin service, complete bar and snack station and restroom. The second deck offers outdoor open-air seating and the Captain’s Lounge. The Captain’s Lounge is available for private parties and passengers can reserve this room at an additional cost to the round trip fares. The lounge is semi-private (crew members do have access) and is supplied with a bottle of champagne or sparkling cider. Catering is also available with advance notice. Vessel Specifications
