Meet Wipeout
‘Wipeout’ is the heart of every Salty Safaris experience—an 11-metre high-performance semi-rigid inflatable boat (RIB) designed for speed, safety, and unforgettable on-water adventures in Hervey Bay.
Originally built as a rescue vessel and powered by twin 250hp engines, Wipeout combines serious capability with a fun, smooth ride—making it one of the most unique tour boats operating around K’gari (Fraser Island).
