Whitianga Boat Hire has just taken possession of two bright-green FatCat 4500 catamaran boats. Set to fill a need in the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula, Whitianga Boat Hire principal and well-known local identity Tony Marsters chose the boats for their amazing stability, enormous space, tough construction, and striking looks. The Whitianga boats are the double side-console version of the FatCat 4500 and are manufactured by FatCat Boats in Auckland.
The boats have been built to MSA survey with a maximum capacity for up to six people per boat. Safety gear on board includes EPIRB, lifejackets, 25W VHF radio, First Aid kit, lines and anchor. Built primarily as self-drive fishing boats, they have a fully functional live-bait tank, Garmin Echomap plotter/sounder, Fusion Marine stereo, two bait stations and wash down hose, plus plenty of rod and drink holders. The Yamaha engine pushes the boats along at 20 knots cruising, topping out at 27 knots.
