About Safari

​The vessel “SAFARI” is a ZODIAC HURRICANE RIB, or Rigid-hull Inflatable Boat, with an aluminium hull surrounded by inflated pontoons for extra stability. “SAFARI” was designed and built in the USA in Stephensville, Maryland, USA by “Zodiac of North America” for the U.S. Navy SEALS and was deployed with SDVT-1 (SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team – 1) in Pearl Harbor.

At 33ft in length, she has more than enough room for our small group

“SAFARI” is consistently maintained to the highest standards of safety and reliability.

We feel “SAFARI” is the best platform to have an intimate experience with wildlife, being close to the water gives these trip a more personal feeling.
Our trips are designed for private and semi-private tours just 1-6 passengers

“SAFARI” is well equipped with all safety gear, life jackets and modern electronics needed and required
With 600hp we are able to quickly move from one encounter to another, even at ¼ of the top speed we can be comfortable and still be faster than the larger vessels. Even with lots of horsepower the motors are quiet and clean burning ( no smelly diesel )

“SAFARI” started out life known as 9MRX0301 or RIB-110 in the US Navy as part of the SDVT-1 Team as a support vessel for a SEAL Delivery Vehicle

In 2021 “SAFARI” was completely rebuilt with new electronics, radios, all new wiring, etc along with new 300 hp twin Mercury Motors.
