A High-End Dinner Cruise Vessel From Austral USA

Early next month, Austral USA will deliver a new dinner cruise boat to Cloud Nine of New York. The company specializes in high end corporate and wedding dinner cruises of New York harbour and the new large vessel is expected to be busy. Among special features on the 41.1-metre boat are a bridal suite, a fully equipped galley with dumb waiter and an overhead atrium on the upper deck.

The aluminum vessel’s beam is 9.15 with a molded depth of 3.5 metres. It has tankage for 22,712 litres of fuel and 11,356 litres of water. Up to 149 passengers will be served by a nine-person dining crew with the support of a three-person marine crew. Two Cummins C-series powered 150 Kw generators will provide for the boat’s extensive electrical requirements. Two Cummins KTA 38MO main engines, each rated for 800 HP at 1800 RPM will provide the propulsive power into Twin Disc MG5202 marine gears with 2.48:1 reductions. These will turn a pair of Veem fixed pitch propellers to drive the boat at 16 knots.
