11.5m (38') "DIC 38" Whale Watching RIB
Descriptions:
This RIB was designed specifically to suit the whale and pelagic bird watching tours off the Southern Cape coast, with year-in year-out operation in mind.

The hull and deck are constructed from marine grade aluminium, the hull bottom scantlings have been increased to take account of the hard service conditions that are expected of this boat. 

Carrying capacity is for twenty-four passengers and three crew.  With its deep V hull and large tubes the boat is able to operate with ease and sea kindliness in the harsh wind and swell conditions typical of this area.

The large deck and dual seating area make for comfortable & easy viewing, with the upper deck providing an additional exciting viewing platform.
