Built by Wildcat Marine, in collaboration with Aluminium Marine, this 24-metre catamaran, surveyed to international standards, was Inter Island Ferry's first high-speed vessel. Constructed from marine-grade aluminium, it's powered by two Caterpillar C18 engines, which in turn transfer power to the twin propellers via ZF550 gearboxes. It can comfortably carry up to 154 passengers, split between the main air-conditioned cabin and the open upper deck, and makes light work of the 15-minute crossing between the islands of Praslin and La Digue. Cat Rose's I is equipped with all necessary safety equipment, including 6 Carly life rafts, life jackets, life rings and, of course, state-of-the-art navigation and communication systems.
