Taranau

The Ultimate Coastal Experience Vessel

Taranau is the powerhouse of our fleet, a 9.5-metre commercial passenger vessel specifically engineered for high-stability sea safaris and coastal charters. Built by the renowned Humber Inflatables, Taranau is a “12+2” coded vessel, licensed to carry 12 passengers plus 2 professional crew in total comfort and safety.

Originally designed for rugged offshore work, Taranau features a reinforced GRP and Hyperlon hull that provides a smooth, stable ride even in the varying conditions of the Bristol Channel. With a 2.8m beam and a 2-tonne displacement, she offers a much more grounded and secure feeling on the water than standard leisure craft.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS & SAFETY

  • Power: Twin 250hp Suzuki (500hp Total)
  • Navigation: Raymarine Radar & AIS Class A Tracking
  • Licensing: MECAL Category 4 (ID: Y10MV0093481)

Whether you are heading out on our Coastal Shock expedition or a private charter, Taranau’s recent upgrades ensure your Cardiff Bay boat trip is supported by the very best in modern marine technology.
