The Pacific 62 was meticulously designed to maximise usability, comfort, and self-sufficiency. The cockpit, a central feature of the design, is proof of Dickey Boats’ innovative approach. With a focus on adaptability, it offers:

  • A bait station featuring live bait tanks, tuna tubes, and storage for fishing essentials.
  • Versatile seating and BBQ areas for socialising and dining.
  • Generous storage solutions for gear, including Lazarette bins and overhead rod racks.

The swim platform, another standout feature, enhances access for watersports enthusiasts and divers while maintaining functionality for game fishing.

Performance Meets Versatility

The Pacific 62’s dual drivetrain system ensures efficiency and reliability, making it ideal for long-range operations. Its shallow shaft angle and optimised swim platform design enhance manoeuvrability, even during reverse operations.

Inside, the vessel offers spacious living areas, seamlessly blending the cockpit and wheelhouse aesthetics. The use of Flexi-teak flooring and premium finishes creates a warm, inviting atmosphere while ensuring durability for extended voyages.
