Tornado 7.5m — Professional Offshore Capability with Increased Operational Capacity

The Tornado 7.5m expands on the proven offshore characteristics of the Super 7 platform, delivering increased deck space, higher payload capacity and enhanced operational flexibility for professional and demanding recreational use.

Its extended hull length improves onboard comfort, offshore stability and carrying capability while maintaining the responsive handling and efficient performance expected from a Tornado deep-V hull.

The 7.5m is particularly well suited to commercial passenger transport, diving operations, patrol work and long-range offshore activity where comfort, reliability and operational efficiency are essential.

Extended Deep-V Hull for Improved Offshore Performance

The Tornado 7.5m uses a refined offshore deep-V hull geometry designed to maintain smooth and predictable handling in demanding sea conditions.

The longer hull platform improves:

  • Offshore ride comfort
  • Longitudinal stability
  • Load distribution
  • Passenger movement onboard
  • Efficiency during extended cruising

Its hull shape provides soft landings in rough water while maintaining excellent directional control and grip during high-speed operation.

Pronounced spray rails improve lift efficiency and reduce spray, helping maintain a dry and controlled ride in changing sea states.

Increased Deck Space and Passenger Capacity

Compared to smaller models in the range, the 7.5m offers significantly greater usable deck area and operational flexibility.

This additional space supports:

  • Larger passenger seating layouts
  • Commercial transport operations
  • Diving equipment storage
  • Offshore work equipment
  • Charter and excursion configurations
  • Mission-specific deck arrangements

The hull remains balanced and efficient even when carrying heavier operational loads.

Efficient Offshore Operation

The Tornado 7.5m is engineered to deliver strong offshore performance while maintaining manageable fuel consumption and operating efficiency.

Its hydrodynamic hull design supports:

  • Fast and efficient planing
  • Stable offshore cruising
  • Predictable handling at speed
  • Reduced drag and fuel consumption
  • Comfortable operation in rough conditions

The result is a platform capable of sustained offshore use with excellent operational practicality.

Commercial-Grade Composite Construction

The 7.5m is built using advanced lightweight composite construction designed for intensive marine use and long-term structural reliability.

Construction features include:

  • Polymer-core composite structure
  • Reinforced laminate skins
  • High rigidity with controlled weight
  • Reduced laminate fatigue over time
  • Excellent durability in offshore environments

This construction approach allows the hull to remain both strong and efficient under demanding operating conditions.

Polyurethane Tubes for Heavy-Duty Use

The inflatable tubes are manufactured from high-durability polyurethane selected for professional marine operation.

Polyurethane offers substantial advantages over conventional inflatable materials, including:

  • Superior abrasion resistance
  • Excellent UV stability
  • Improved longevity
  • Resistance to harsh environmental exposure
  • Lower long-term maintenance requirements

These characteristics make the 7.5m highly suitable for intensive commercial and offshore applications.

Designed for Professional Multi-Role Applications

The Tornado 7.5m adapts effectively to a broad range of operational requirements.

Typical applications include:

  • Passenger transport
  • Diving operations
  • Offshore leisure use
  • Patrol and security work
  • Charter activity
  • Yacht support operations

Its balance between size, offshore capability and operational efficiency makes it one of the most practical all-round professional platforms in the range.

Stable and Comfortable Offshore Handling

The 7.5m is engineered to remain composed and confidence-inspiring across varied sea conditions.

Operational handling benefits include:

  • Dry-running behaviour
  • Stable low-speed handling
  • Smooth offshore ride quality
  • Controlled response during turns
  • Reduced vibration and impact loading

The balanced hull and tube geometry improve passenger comfort while maintaining the agile handling associated with the Tornado design philosophy.

Tornado 7.5m — Built for Real Offshore Operations

The Tornado 7.5m combines offshore capability, increased carrying capacity and professional-grade construction in a highly versatile platform.

Durable, efficient and comfortable in demanding conditions, it delivers the operational flexibility required for serious marine work while remaining equally suited to experienced offshore recreational owners.
