Quicksilver Outer Reef Cruise
Features
Overview
Join the Quicksilver crew as they take you out on the water to experience the wonderful Great Barrier Reef. The sheer power and high speeds of the Quicksilver Wavepiercer offer a quick yet comfortable ride slicing through the waves rather than riding over them. Thanks to a top speed of approximately 30 knots, the vessel covers the 78km from Port Douglas to Agincourt Reef in an hour and a half, leaving you plenty of time to explore this stunning destination.
Agincourt Reef is the destination of the day and is an incredible ribbon reef on the edge of the Australian continental shelf. Home to an amazing array of colourful corals and tropical marine life, the reef is a sheltered anchorage point and offers ideal conditions for swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving and semi-submersible coral viewing. There is also a magnificent underwater observatory and viewing platform, as well as fish feeding.
