Roam Boats launch new dive specific vessel
ROAM Boats is proud to unveil the C12 Dive Catamaran, a purpose-built vessel engineered exclusively for diving and tender operations.
Built with professional divers and yacht support in mind, the C12 combines robust construction with passenger comfort and offshore performance. With a shallow static draft of just 0.6 m, an expansive open deck layout, a beach-lander platform, and generous beam for stability, it delivers both access and comfort for up to 14 guests and two crew. With seating and circulation designed specifically for dive expeditions, even in demanding environments.
Key features include:
A beach-lander platform, enabling direct access onto beaches or shallow shorelines.
Large, open deck and swim platform with heavy-duty steps. Designed to facilitate safe and effortless water entry and exit, as well as smooth tank handling.
Dive-specific features such as dedicated tank racks, BCD donning stations and configurable storage for dive equipment and gear.
Twin-hull catamaran configuration for enhanced stability, minimal roll, and generous deck space.
The catamaran design provides exceptional interior volume, offering more space than a typical enclosed tender.
Jet-drive propulsion reducing underwater disturbance, improving safety for marine life, divers, and operations in sensitive environments.
Air conditioning, Starlink connectivity, custom audio and modular shading systems.
Storage racks for water sports gear.
ROAM offers the C12 with two finish options: a ‘filled and faired’ high-end finish for superyacht integration, or a commercial-grade specification. This flexibility ensures that operators, from private superyacht owners to commercial dive centres, can tailor the vessel to their exact preferences.
Although designed first and foremost for diving, the C12’s modular deck layout allows for quick transformation into a luxury guest tender, with removable benches, dive racks and equipment storage, converting the open working deck into a refined guest transfer
“While there are catamaran tenders and multipurpose dive boats out there, not many have been designed entirely around divers,” says Josh Richardson, CEO of ROAM. “Most platforms are adapted leisure or guest tenders, but the C12 was conceived from day one for dive operations, and every detail serves that purpose. With its aluminium construction and ROAM’s adaptable ethos, the C12 is engineered to evolve with its owner’s needs, balancing performance, practicality and versatility.”
