The FastWater 52 was designed and developed to offer a completely outfitted, world class expedition cruising catamaran. Small enough to be manageable for a crew of two, but large enough to offer safety and comfort when sailing offshore, with enough interior space for full time live aboard. Ice Wars II benefits from the the strength of an aluminum hull and deck compared to conventional composite fiberglass construction, and in fact was made of a new alloy called Alustar™, which is 28% stronger than normal alloys. Acoustical and thermal insulation provides a very quiet boat with no interior condensation.

ICE WARS II Crew Profile

Captain Gary Onik MD
Captain Gary Onik is unique among those captains you might meet in the chartering world. His love of sailing and boats has lead him from a very successful career as a cancer researcher/surgeon to that of your charter captain! In collaboration with Manta project manager Pat Rieschman, Dr. Onik designed and built Ice Wars II to offer guests a level of luxury, comfort and safety not seen in another vessel of its size.
Dr. Gary Onik, attended Harvard University, New York Medical College and is the inventor and pioneer of ultrasound guided Cryosurgery for both the prostate and the liver. He loves freezing cancer cells so much that he’s named his new boat Ice Wars II. As an avid sailor, Captain Gary retains credentials including RYA Yachtmaster Ocean, and ABYC Certified Master Marine Technician issued by the Landing School in Kennebunkport, Maine. This assures you that mechanical or minor medical problems that might derail other charters can be handled on board with minimal chance for delay or disruption to your charter experience.
Underlying his more obvious qualifications is his past experience staying at 5 star resorts as a guest. He understands what great service is all about and is dedicated to provide you with that high level as a guest aboard Ice Wars II. All of Captain Onik's experience and capabilities combine to assure you an unforgettable charter experience.
First Mate Allan Onik
Allan Onik is the son of Dr. Gary Onik. Allan has a creative writing degree from The University of Pittsburgh and is an ABYC certified marine technician. He lives some of the year in PIttsburgh and some of the year on Ice Wars II, where he fastidiously fixes and maintains the vessel in top condition. He also helps out the Captain on passages. He enjoys NFL football and roots for the PIttsburgh Steelers. But whoever guests are fans of, Allan knows how to make everyone on board feel at ease and at home. In his spare time, Allan most enjoys reading select authors.
