Silversonic Returns – Newly Refit, Faster, Greener & Better Than Ever!

By Clint | Nov 8, 2025

Big news for divers and snorkellers — Silversonic has officially returned to the water after an incredible refit and engine upgrade that sets a new benchmark for outer reef touring from Port Douglas.

Operated by Quicksilver Group, Silversonic has long been one of the region’s premier dive vessels, whisking guests to the Agincourt Ribbon Reefs on the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef. But after months in dry dock and a multi-million-dollar overhaul, she’s back — faster, quieter, and more eco-friendly than ever before.

New Engines, New Era

At the heart of Silversonic’s transformation are two brand-new, state-of-the-art, low-emission engines designed to significantly reduce fuel use and environmental impact. These next-generation powerplants not only boost efficiency but also lower noise levels, creating a smoother, quieter ride across the Coral Sea.

For guests, this means a cleaner, faster transfer to the reef — and more time spent diving and snorkeling the stunning coral gardens Silversonic is famous for.

Upgraded Comfort & Features

It’s not just what’s under the hood that’s changed. The refit includes fresh interiors, upgraded seating and fittings, enhanced diver facilities, and improved air-conditioning — all designed for comfort and sustainability. The refit continues Quicksilver’s commitment to eco-certified reef operations and the ongoing protection of the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef.

A Reimagined Dive Experience

Silversonic will continue to visit three exclusive Agincourt Reef sites daily, offering certified diving, introductory diving, and snorkeling with guided marine talks and onboard environmental briefings. With up to five hours of reef time, guests can expect crystal-clear visibility, abundant marine life, and now — a refreshed level of onboard luxury.

For Cairns and Port Douglas divers, this relaunch is big news — not just as a technological upgrade, but as a sign of ongoing investment in sustainable reef tourism.

A Positive Boost for the Region

In a time when the reef tourism industry continues to evolve post-pandemic, the Silversonic refit showcases local innovation and confidence in the future of Great Barrier Reef diving. It’s another exciting chapter for one of the region’s most respected operators — and a thrilling return for a vessel that’s been part of countless unforgettable reef adventures.
