The $500,000 shiny new Jet Sprinter cruised into Meridien Marina yesterday morning with Reef Sprinter owner Steve Sherwell at the helm.

Mr Sherwell, who drove the 1,000 horse powered vessel from Cairns, was clearly proud of his new custom built toy which will provide a thrilling experience for 14 passengers it can carry at any one time.

The new addition to the Reef Sprinter fleet will be unleashed on the public just before Christmas after some final adjustments are made.

Reef Sprinter is fast becoming one of Port Douglas' most popular tour options. To experience it for yourself contact them on 07 4099 3175, or drop into their office on Wharf St.
