Description

Boat

Febrina is a steel monohull motor vessel with steel/aluminium superstructure, 22 meters in length with a 6 meters beam and twin propellors. It was built in 1972 in Western Australia and was purchased by her current owners - Max Benjamin and Alan Raabe, in 1991. Prior to delivering the boat from Australia to Papua New Guinea, the boat was totally refurbished to cater especially for divers and underwater photographers, with many further upgrades since then.

Febrina is a traditional, old style dive liveaboard, a very stable and extremely seaworthy motor boat, well set out and catering for serious divers and photographers who want a total PNG dive experience.
