Spirit of the Wild

Simon conceived the extraordinary vision to create the most environmentally sensitive cruising vessel in the world, then brought the vision to life for business owners RACT, project managing the design and construction of the $10m, 33.8 metre passenger catamaran Spirit of The Wild, for Gordon River Cruises in Strahan.

Purpose-built for cruising in the sensitive environment of the UNESCO Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area, Spirit of the Wild is the first of its kind in the world. Her unique and ground-breaking hybrid propulsion system allows quiet cruising on electric motors while on the Gordon River, and tanninlike exterior finishes and floor to ceiling glass ensures she almost vanishes on the river, providing true immersion in this incredible environment.
