The two first crewboats of the new BOURBON Surfer-200X series operate along the Gabonese coast for TotalEnergies. After 2 years of design, engineering and construction, the offshore market is now able to experience the comfort and technical capabilities of this 19-meter, 30-knot as cruising speed, 30-passenger, new crew boat. With these new vessels, Bourbon Mobility will accelerate its fleet transformation within the next 3 years and plans to build 40 new units in total.

Three additional Surfer-200x units are already under construction at Efinor-Allais French Shipyard in Cherbourg. The thirty-five remaining vessels should be built within the next 3 years. The new fleet will be made of both 19-meter Interfields vessels and 26 & 38-meter Crewliners, which will be equipped with new-generation engines and cabins with an innovative design, while capitalising on series construction for better reliability. This is part of BOURBON's commitment to maintain its operating standards by ensuring the average age of its fleet at 8 years. The R&D teams are also integrating the CO2 reduction dimension into their analysis, being aware that this is becoming an increasingly important element for our clients.

We now propose you to discover these new Surfers in video…
