Sea World on Australia's Gold Coast has launched the new Sea World Whale Watch in partnership with Whale Watch Australia.
An AUD$3.4m catamaran will depart from the new Sea World Whale Watch Terminal twice daily, with a capacity in excess of 100 passengers.
The luxury cruiser has been designed to minimise impacts on the environment.
It has a custom keel design that protects whales from harm, engines that exceed international emission standards and produce minimal underwater noise. The on-board toilet and grey water waste is also never allowed to pollute the ocean.
