Louisiana-based shipbuilder Metal Shark is developing a new line of "next generation" aluminium passenger vessels.
Based on military patrol boat designs, the Endurance PV-X range includes a 26-metre model for 150 passengers and a 32-metre model for 350 passengers.
Comfortable seating arrangements and wide aisles enhance the overall passenger experience.
Amenities, such as LED infotainment screens, charging stations for electronic devices, onboard wifi and bicycle racks, are all available.
The smaller vessel will be powered by pairs of Caterpillar diesel engines, producing 598kW at 2,100rpm each.
