The Newest Pontoon on the Great Barrier Reef Off Cairns in Australia
English Marine Engineering in Cairns is launching in March the new Reef Magic Reef Pontoon, this state of the art Reef Pontoon will be moored at an exclusive
reef location on the Great Barrier Reef.
This is the first new Pontoon on the Great Barrier Reef in over a decade, and we’ve made sure to think of the future in the design and build by English Marine Engineering in Cairns. Launching in early 2022, at over 1003sqm, three levels and has a capacity for over 450 guests but numbers kept to a maximum of 250, this pontoon will be perfect for a day on the reef to escape the crowds. With 18 solar panels and 3 wind turbines, this pontoon will be powered using sustainable energy.
With an unique and easy water entry point for swimming and snorkeling, a fully functioning scientific lab for reef research and projects, our Reef Magic pontoon has been Queensland built with the future in mind by English Marine Engineering in Cairns.
Some fun activities you can experience include: Intro and certified diving, guided snorkel tours, one of the largest helmet diving circuits on the Great Barrier Reef and a huge sundeck with sun loungers. Beginner snorkelers can feel comfortable with an array of colourful corals and incredible fish able to be seen without even letting go of the platform or by exploring the nearby coral gardens the home of ‘Wally’ the world famous Maori wrasse.
For those wanting to stay dry, you can experience the reef via the semi submarine, glass bottom boats or the state of the art underwater observatory also build by English Marine Engineering in Cairns, where fish feeding displays are given throughout the day with an interpretive commentary.
