Nautika, the Andaman Islands’ leading high-speed ferry operator, is preparing to launch Nautika Pride- a next-generation passenger vessel set to redefine maritime travel across the archipelago.

Positioned as the largest, fastest, and most luxurious ferry in the Andamans, with a fleet of all-new catamarans, Nautika Prride combines advanced marine engineering, premium onboard hospitality, and world-class passenger comfort to set a new benchmark in inter-island travel.

Built in India and certified by the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS), the 400-seat high-speed catamaran will cruise at speeds of up to 24 knots, offering one of the most advanced ferry experiences ever introduced in the region.

A New Era of Ferry Travel in the Andamans

Nautika Prride has been designed around a simple philosophy: the journey should feel just as memorable as the destination. The vessel introduces significantly more spacious seating, enhanced passenger comfort, and thoughtfully designed interiors across four distinct travel classes - Luxury, Royal, VIP, and Business - allowing travellers to choose an experience tailored to their style of travel.

Whether travelling for a honeymoon, a family holiday, or an island escape, Nautika Prride has been built to make every crossing smoother, faster, and more enjoyable.

Engineered for Speed, Stability & Reliability

At the heart of Nautika Prride is a modern double-hull catamaran platform inspired by globally trusted high-speed ferry architecture. Designed for greater open-sea stability, the vessel is engineered to deliver a smoother and more comfortable ride across the Andaman Islands.

With a cruising speed of 24 knots, Nautika Prride will become one of the fastest passenger ferries operating in the Andaman Islands, improving travel efficiency while enhancing passenger confidence during crossings.

The vessel’s advanced engineering, combined with dual-hull stability and internationally compliant safety systems, is designed to minimise passenger discomfort and deliver greater operational reliability throughout the sailing season.

As the largest passenger vessel operating in the Andamans, Nautika Prride represents a major advancement in maritime tourism infrastructure for the region.

Nautika Prride carries approvals from ~~two~~ of the world’s most respected marine classification authorities — the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS). The vessel has been designed in compliance with internationally recognised maritime safety standards, incorporating advanced structural integrity systems, evacuation protocols, fire safety mechanisms, and operational safeguards.

Nautika continues to operate under strict weather-monitoring and sailing protocols in coordination with maritime authorities and regional advisories, ensuring passenger safety remains the company’s highest priority.
