@ Chilkat Express A?ol Jj i The Next Generation in Catamaran Design The Chilkat Express is known as the fastest boat of its kind in its region, cruising at over 40 knots. The Chilkat Express is a 61 'x 22' Teknicraft catamaran run by Chilkat Cruises & Tours for tourist excursions between Skagway, Alaska, and Glacier Point. With a top speed of 46 knots, this boat quickly shuttles up to 63 passengers on its 40-minute one-way journey, many from the cruise ships that regularly stop in Skagway. Known as the fastest boat of its kind in the region, the Chilkat Express could also be called one of the most efficient. Its main foil between the hulls, two stern trim foils, wedge-shaped bow wave piercer, and chines all work in concert to provide lift and cushion shock when moving through the roughs, reducing drag and increasing fuel efficiency and speed. Indeed, when it is on step it drafts only 4-8 Inches of water. Its four Caterpillar 3406 diesel engines (each installed offset and in tandem in the 91 " hulls, consume 120 gallons of fuel per hour when powering its four Hamilton HJ362 water jets. An Onan 13.5kw auxiliary engine runs the two cylindrical 220-volt fans to cool the engine compartments, increasing performance.
