We are proud to deliver our latest catamaran to Kragerø Fjordbåtselskap. The vessel is incredibly quiet, providing a pleasant and comfortable experience for passengers and crew.

The spacious wheelhouse offers great visibility and pleasant working conditions for the crew, ensuring a comfortable and efficient working day on board. The engine room is also designed with easy access to service points in mind and is arranged to make maintenance and service as simple as possible," concludes Nogva.
