Organisers Jersey Tourism have commissioned Ocean Discoveries and their 12-seater 8.
metre RIB Equinoxe for a second time after the success of their eco-friendly trips during the 2005 event.
The venture was launched by Jenny and Dean Pitman in 2001 offering trips to groups of scuba divers.
But then they spotted a gap in the cruise market and decided to specialise in sightseeing and nature-watching cruises around the coast of Jersey and its offshore reefs and islands.
