Sea Hunter Pro
Model: Sea Hunter Pro – Conveyor-Belt Trash Recovery Boat
Sea Hunter Pro is the Sea Hunter family’s model built around a full front conveyor-belt collection system fed by two sweeping arms for continuous marine litter recovery — this is what sets Sea Hunter Pro apart from Sea Hunter. Sharing the same GRP catamaran platform, Sea Hunter Pro pairs this trash boat conveyor system and upgraded hydraulics with the comfort of an enclosed cabin, making it suited for intensive and long-duration operations. Although Sea Hunter Pro is a work boat, its finishing is as good as a first-class motor yacht — but don’t let the bright, polished look fool you: underneath is a heavy-duty composite structure built for continuous, demanding work.
Depending on the market and the terminology used, Sea Hunter Pro is also referred to as a trash boat, trash vessel, trash skimmer, sea cleaning vessel, sea clean-up vessel, sea cleaning boat, sea clean-up boat, sea cleaning machine, garbage collection boat, garbage collection vessel, ocean cleaning vessel, or ocean clean-up vessel.
Sea Hunter Pro is a marine litter recovery vessel manufactured by EPS Marine (Türkiye). It is an 8-meter GRP catamaran trash boat equipped with a full front conveyor-belt collection system and an enclosed, air-conditioned operator cabin. Unlike the base Sea Hunter model, which uses a hydraulic basket, Sea Hunter Pro’s conveyor system enables continuous, high-volume marine litter collection, making it suited for ports, shipyards and other intensive, long-duration sea-cleaning operations.

Marine Waste Sea Clean Up Conveyor System
At the heart of Sea Hunter Pro — and the single feature that sets it apart from Sea Hunter — is its full conveyor-belt collection system. Two fast-turning sweeping arms guide marine litter onto the main collection conveyor, which can recover floating debris such as plastics, algae, sargassum, wood and tree branches continuously and without interruption. Unlike Sea Hunter’s basket system, the conveyor belt is built for sustained, high-density litter loads. Acting as an algae collection boat — or algae clean-up vessel — in waters affected by heavy algae or sargassum bloom, the conveyor system helps reduce marine pollution at the source, supporting broader ocean clean-up efforts.
Our sea-surface clean-up conveyors are designed and optimized in-house by EPS. With more than 100,000 working hours, our marine trash recovery systems are tested and approved by customers across multiple locations — among the best-performing sea clean-up technology available today. The conveyor chassis is made of 5083 Series Marine Grade Aluminum, and the woven belt uses an engineering-grade plastic that is easy to replace and simple to maintain. Hydraulically powered, with independent speed control and electro-hydraulic operation, the conveyor gives the operator the most ergonomic and highest-efficiency collection experience. All movement and controls can be operated from a single console.

What sets Sea Hunter Pro apart is its front conveyor-belt collection system; the enclosed cabin is a comfort feature that comes with it. Sea Hunter Pro is built for high waste volumes and long operating hours rather than everyday use. If you’re looking for a lighter, more economical solution, see our Sea Hunter sea cleaning vessel page.
Sea Hunter Pro is well suited to the following marine litter recovery scenarios:
- Open-sea and large water-body surface cleaning operations
- Large port and shipyard clean-up operations
- High-traffic straits, channels and waterway crossings
- Municipal long-duration / shift-based marine cleaning programs
- Marinas and yacht harbors requiring high-volume waste management
FAQ
