A Versatile Workhorse for Offshore Operations
The Ocean Cat builds upon the success of Sinbad’s previous catamaran, the “Coastal Cat,” offering enhanced size and power. It retains the versatility that made the Coastal Cat so valuable, catering to a wide range of offshore tasks including:
With unrestricted navigation up to 150 miles offshore, the Ocean Cat is a highly capable asset for diverse offshore projects.
Crew Comfort and Advanced Electronics
The Ocean Cat prioritizes crew comfort with a high-standard interior fit-out. The wheelhouse features comfortable seating for 12, tables for monitoring and survey work, a flat-screen TV, and power outlets for survey equipment. The skipper has a dedicated chair with a sliding track for optimal visibility and access to a comprehensive range of electronics and cameras providing a complete view of the vessel’s operations.
The vessel offers two luxurious cabins with bunks and seating in both the port and starboard hulls. One cabin can be used specifically for survey work. Additional amenities include a fully equipped galley and a toilet with a shower on the main deck. All cabins and internal areas are heated for crew comfort.
