Vessel proves its worth
Quick Cat II extensions: rear decks which has you closer to the action; upper deck awning for protection from the sun and rain; and best of all upper sky deck You can now access the wheelhouse roof for that "birds eye view" of the whales and surrounding area. This new deck is a first not only for Hervey Bay but also Australia. This gives Quick Cat II a total of four decks to view the whales and dolphins giving everyone on board much more room.
Comments have been positive from passengers as they disembark and comment on the extra room and undercover seating creating extra comfort.
