Launch of Amber: A New Passenger Boat Built in Jaffna

Sea Leisure Yachting Group (SLYG) is proud to announce the launch of Amber, a new passenger boat designed by Sabrosa Rain Advanced Technologies and manufactured at the SLYG boatyard in Kait, Jaffna.

This launch is particularly significant, as it not only showcases the innovative design and manufacturing expertise of SLYG, but also highlights the impact of vocational training through the Building A Future Foundation (BAFF). The construction of Amber formed part of the training curriculum for young Sri Lankans enrolled in the Jaffna program, giving them hands-on experience in modern boatbuilding techniques and preparing them for careers in the marine industry.

The Amber will be operated by Sail Lanka, expanding marine tourism opportunities in northern Sri Lanka. Her primary mission will be to provide island-hopping excursions and tours to Delft Island, one of the most unique destinations in the Jaffna region.

With Amber entering service soon under Sail Lanka, visitors to Jaffna will soon be able to explore Delft Island and beyond in comfort and safety — while the local workforce continues to benefit from new opportunities created by the growing marine leisure sector.
