C8

A VERSATILE PASSENGER BOAT FOR COASTAL & ISLAND TOURISM 🌊

The rapid growth of experiential tourism is creating new demands for transportation – compact, easy to operate, yet safe and capable of delivering a complete leisure experience for passengers.

To meet this need, Song Lo Shipbuilding introduces the C8, a new-generation high-speed passenger boat optimized for multiple operational purposes across coastal areas and near-shore islands.

Open-space design – Enjoy the full seascape

The C8 features an open, airy cabin closely connected to nature. Passengers can easily enjoy the view, take photos, and feel the sea breeze throughout the journey.

This layout is especially suitable for coral-watching tours, short day tours, exploration trips, and resort shuttle services.

Compact design – Flexible operation

With a length of 9.45 m, the C8 can maneuver easily at small piers, resort docks, or busy transfer points.

The boat meets VR SB registration standards, ensuring safety in near-shore operating zones.

Thanks to its lightweight structure and optimized hull shape, the C8 operates smoothly, combining both passenger transport and recreational use. It is ideal for:

• Near-shore island tours
• Tender transfers from mother ships
• Dive-support operations
• Patrol, port authority, or workboat duties

Strong performance – Efficient operating costs

Powered by a YAMAHA 250HP 4-stroke outboard, the C8 reaches a top speed of up to 70 km/h – impressive for its single-engine class.

Its quick acceleration and lightweight hull help reduce fuel consumption and optimize running costs for operators.

12 seats – Suitable for premium services

The C8 is arranged with 12 passenger seats + 3 crew, serving groups such as:

• Family or friend tours
• Private trips
• VIP guests requiring fast transfers
• Resorts needing a compact yet multi-purpose boat

The layout is clean, practical, and easily customized with options like Fusion audio, synthetic teak flooring, AIS, VHF, and more.

An optimal investment solution for operators

With reasonable investment cost, strong performance, and wide application potential, the C8 is a perfect choice for businesses focusing on:

• Diving tours
• Near-shore island sightseeing
• Resort transfer services
• Overnight-cruise tender
• Workboat and patrol duties

The C8 stands as one of the most versatile models in its segment, effectively serving everything from passenger transfer to coastal tourism and premium recreational services.
