Based on the Offshore Raiding Craft and offering similar spec and performance, Flying Marlin is an exciting addition to the Holyhead Portfolio. Owners `Flying Fish Tours` commissioned this vessel to add a new twist to their range of Thames power boat experiences, giving enhanced maneuverability over the traditional RIB. The basic ORC ACV layout remains but with jockey seats replaced by benches to allow an impressive seating capacity of 20. Safety features are also bolstered to meet relevant MCA regulations for passenger craft.
