Silversonic – Ribbon Reefs Done Right
Departing from Port Douglas, Silversonic is hard to beat. 5 hours exploring three different reef sites at the stunning Agincourt Reef—part of the famous Ribbon Reefs. Departing daily, this fast, 29m luxury catamaran takes just 80 guests—so your day feels spacious, not crowded
Rather than sticking to one spot, Silversonic moves between three carefully selected locations. Each site is chosen on the day for the best visibility, marine life, and conditions.
With access to over 20 moorings, you’ll experience some of the most vibrant and diverse reef environments on the Great Barrier Reef. Sites include Agincourt Reef – the southernmost area of the famous Ribbon Reefs.
No matter your experience level, you’re covered:
As a result, the day flows at your pace—whether you’re chasing adventure or taking it easy.
