The M/V Ava J McCall offers passengers a cabin arrangement that
simulates first class airline seating. It is the first and only
monohull in the industry equipped with a first class “pod” seating
configuration. With 56 seats, the vessel provides passengers with
privacy and other comforts including folding tray tables, reading
light and foot rest. The seats are much wider than industry
standard and will recline 60 degrees within the pod. Other
amenities include USB power for charging personal electronic
devices, wifi access, satellite TV and low-tone LED lighting, which
provides a more relaxed atmosphere. The passenger area is also
equipped with a galley, which offers refrigerated storage for quick
service meals and beverages as well as a coffee and snack bar
available to all passengers. In addition to this new concept
seating, the vessel also has a conference table in the passenger
area with seating for 12. Passenger comfort is further increased
with a stabilizer and ride control system that reduces the motion
of the vessel affording passengers the most comfortable ride in the
industry.
The 13,500 horsepower propulsion system onboard the M/V Ava J
McCall allows the vessel to achieve a maximum speed of 38 knots,
far above the industry standard. The vessel was also built with ABS
Class 2 Kongsberg dynamic positioning system and the vessel’s 8
thrusters provide excellent station keeping and system
redundancy.
The Ava J McCall was built by Gulf Craft in Franklin, LA, one of
the most experienced and capable shipyards in the U.S., and was
engineered by Incat Crowther, an Australia company with office in
Lafayette, LA.
