Poseidon: Custom-Built Tour Vessel for Hawaii Dolphin Tours
All American Marine (AAM) proudly delivers Poseidon, a 50-foot aluminum catamaran built for Hawaii Dolphin Tours in Honolulu, Hawaii. Designed for snorkeling excursions and marine life tours, this state-of-the-art vessel enhances guest experiences and eco-conscious operations along the stunning waters of Oahu.
Innovative Catamaran Design
Designed by Nic de Waal of Teknicraft Design, the 50’ x 17’ semi-displacement aluminum catamaran is built to USCG Subchapter T standards. Powered by twin Cummins QSB 6.7 SL-SW engines (355 mhp each) and fixed-pitch propellers, Poseidon offers fuel-efficient cruising, smooth handling, and enhanced stability in varying sea conditions. Dual helm stations on the bow and stern of the upper deck ensure optimal visibility for the captain, improving maneuverability and guest safety.
Unmatched Guest Experience
Poseidon is an open-air concept vessel, carefully designed for comfort, panoramic views, and easy water access. Features include:
- 70 wrap-around seating positions across the main and upper decks
- Built-in water slide for a fun and easy ocean entry
- Custom boarding ladders for effortless re-entry from the water
- Smooth, cushioned ride thanks to Teknicraft’s advanced hull design
