Work has started at Tarees Steber International on a fourth vessel for the Fregate Island Resort in the Seychelles archipelago.

Fregate Island Resort manager, Wayne Kafsak takes delivery of the 3800 from Steber general manager, Alan Steber.

Work has started at Tarees Steber International on a fourth vessel for the Fregate Island Resort in the Seychelles archipelago and is due for delivery later this year.

The Steber 5200 (52ft) will be used for a variety of resort activities covering extended excursions, game fishing and diving.

Features also include two sleeping cabins, two lounge areas, galley, two bathrooms, inflatable dinghy and crane and additional on-deck seating suitable for scenic tours.

The 5200 will join the fleet of three other vessels, the first of which was delivered back in 1999.

Late last year Fregate Island took delivery of a Steber 3800 (38ft) which is being used to transfer clients between the island and mainland.

Unlike the majority of fibreglass manufactured vessels, the hulls of the Fregate Island fleet vessels are finished in a unique Jade Mist Green colour.
