Reef Ranger has returned to the water in Cairns after a $2.9 million refit delivered by Rivergate Marina and Shipyard in Brisbane. The 24-metre catamaran was upgraded for the Australian and Queensland governments with new propulsion, energy and emissions systems. The six-month works included a complete redesign of the engine room to fit the new technology within the vessel’s existing footprint. Reef Ranger operates for around 240 days a year and travels more than 12,000 nautical miles supporting rangers and researchers across the Great Barrier Reef.
Rivergate Marina and Shipyard will send director of international business Stephen Bay and marketing manager Alex Binks to the Monaco Yacht Show 2025 from 24-27 September. The yard will be on the South Pacific Stand, QA1, Quai Antoine IER.
Rivergate Marina & Shipyard completed a full exterior refit of the Kelly Peterson 46 Wasabi 1 after the job expanded from annual maintenance into a larger project. The yacht was hauled out, worked on for eight months and returned to the water before heading to her Scarborough Marina base.
