The 63 Fearless Super Interceptor is a highly optimized version of Metal Shark’s Fearless high-performance platform, utilizing the proven Stepped Vee, Ventilated Tunnel (SVVT) running surface designed by naval architect Michael Peters. Metal Shark’s Fearless-class stepped bottom vessels are currently in service with the US Navy, NOAA, and multiple law enforcement agencies and foreign militaries. Digitally designed, router-cut, and precision-welded, the Fearless hull is composed of beefy plates of premium 5086 aluminum alloy for unmatched durability. Powered by twin diesel engines and surface drives with up to 5,000 total horsepower per vessel, the Super Interceptor reaches top in the 70-knot range. Configured for maximum range, the vessel delivers an unbelievable 15+ hours endurance at 50 knots.

The Fearless Super Interceptor platform was developed with a crew-centric design honed over the delivery of 1,000+ Metal Shark vessels to military operators worldwide and optimized to meet the challenges of modern maritime security head-on. Multiple configurations are offered to accommodate the widest possible range of mission profiles. Key configuration options include open bow or forward cabin, and center console or enclosed pilothouse. The vessel shown here features an elevated, enclosed helm station with protected forward seating for ten crew. The vessel carries an onboard 5-meter Metal Shark-built welded aluminum RIB that may be quickly launched and retrieved for maximum mission versatility. Regardless of configuration, the 63 Fearless Super Interceptor features modern, crew-friendly appointments designed for safety and ease of operation. Ballistic protection is available, and the vessel may be configured to carry the full range of remote-operated and crew-served weapons.
