The Boat
We operate a 10.6 mtr Hamilton designed Marlborough hull, she carries 600 ltrs of fuel and 200 ltrs of fresh water, and is powered by a 420 hp Yanmar marine diesel engine, giving her a cruise speed of 20 kts. Originally built in 1989, for Cray fishing in the wild waters around Stewart island. (hence the name “OBAN COWBOY”) In 2004 she was extended, re powered and then used for Paua diving and Charter fishing in Cook straight, she has a well proven hull design and we have no trouble operating in weather up to 40kts
