nitrox charters

nitrox was built by safehaven marine in cork s ireland, between november 07 to april 08, and launched on the 12th april. she is built to pilot boat specifications and the strongest hull in her class. 38.6ft in length, 12.10ft in beam making her very stable. powered by caterpillar 575hp engine, and pushed along by a 26" propeller giving her a top speed at 27knots. she displaces 14 tonnes.

I took delivery of nitrox on 24th april 2008 as a sail away build. She was fully workable boat, but without any fit out inside. We sailed her back from East ferry marina cobh, cork back to holyhead marina, some 192 sea miles. The weather was terrible, fog, rain, mist and the forcast 5/6 and the next day 6/7 south westerlies, we sailed with no instruments apart from a hand held gps, great but no good in fog!! Two days later we where at holyhead. Me and my friend Ken Booth where overwhelmed at we had achived. The boat was brilliant, a real confidence boost  to her new crew.

We started the fit out about 10 days later, the project for fit out was 12 weeks, but lasted only 10 weeks. there are some pictures how she was in the bare fibreglass and fitted out to final finish.

Nitrox is now fitted with dive lift, this also aids in recovery of large fish onboard.
