Launched in August 2018 this new Australian built reef boat has had the same focus on minimising environmental footprint as Wavelength 4. She is very slightly larger than Wavelength 4.
Wavelength 6 carries up to a maximum of 48 passengers but is certified for 100 offshore. There is seating for 108, so there’s plenty of room. Comfortable air-conditioned saloon with lounge seating and added passive ventilation when moored to allow a quiet boat with no generator noise. Large shaded top deck with comfortable upholstered seating and lounge style open helm area. Sun areas on the aft top deck and bow. Large panoramic windows in the saloon for great views, including forwards to help avoid seasickness. Three toilets.
Slim hull forms have a super-fine entry, deep forefoot, round chines, and maximum waterline length for a smoother ride at high speed. High wing deck clearance avoids slamming even in rough conditions. Hydrodynamic stabiliser fins improve tracking, especially downwind in large followings seas.
A wide back deck with a lowering transom and swim platform make water access easy.
A fast boat with a top speed of 29 knots fully loaded, yet extremely fuel efficient at cruising speed which is limited to 25knots (46kph).
