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.
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.
“Nautika Prride reflects the future of maritime travel in India — faster, safer, more comfortable, and globally benchmarked", says Anoop Kumar, Director, Nautika.
"With this vessel, we are introducing a completely new standard of passenger experience to the Andaman Islands", adds Anoop.
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.

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.
