The Alison Maree is undoubtedly the ultimate whale watching vessel for a myriad of compelling reasons. Its recent upgrades are nothing short of remarkable, we\u2019ve achieved boosted fuel efficiency by integrating bulbous bows, and improved aerodynamics that guarantee a gentler, more seamless, and remarkably stable ride. The addition of a 2-metre stern extension with drop-down viewing platforms and a spacious rear lounge guarantees an unforgettable passenger experience, bringing you closer to the wildlife while maintaining ultimate safety. The vessel also boasts non-slip Deck Armour decking for safety and comfort, noise reduction, and a more appealing aesthetic.
