THE NEW REEF MAGIC VESSEL

The management and staff of locally owned Reef Magic Cruises are proud to announce the official launch of Queensland’s latest $5million luxury fast catamaran, Reef Magic II. 

 

Powered by the latest technology, Reef Magic will whisk passengers direct from Cairns to the Outer Reef in 5 star luxury and at speeds of up to 27 knots.  Sporting a unique shiny blue hull the fast catamaran design slices travel time to the outer reef to under 90 minutes.

 

Renowned for friendly, attentive service Reef Magic Cruises will maintain this competitive advantage by limiting daily passenger numbers to 190 while offering comfortable seating for over 300.

 

The Reef Magic Cruises experience is fully catered for including a licensed bar on the vessel and a range of snacks available throughout the day.  Additional onboard facilities include dedicated wheel chair accessible toilet and shower facilities plus private baby change area. 

 

Guests aboard Reef Magic II receive a full 5 hours of privileged access to the purpose built Marine World activity platform, located on a private outer reef location of the highest standard.  Activities suit all ages and swimming abilities from the non-swimmer or beginner snorkeller to the most experienced certified diver.

 

There is no better time to Experience The Magic for yourself! 

Reef Magic has installed a new pontoon with a full range of facilities and activities onboard. The pontoon is a large stable structure based at Moore Reef with extensive undercover and seating areas.
