Fishey Business Charter Fishing Vessel:

Delivered October last year to Taranaki is a serious fishing boat that is about to be launched in April. She has ben built to hull built stage by the Bladerunner Team and is being finished by a team of engineers and her owner in Taranaki. As strong as she can be with a 10mm plate bottom for the rugged demanding Taranaki Coast Line. We are looking forward to attending her launching and sea trials next month and will upload video footage and photoes when we get them.

We have just launched a hydrographic survey boat for New Foundland, Canada. With a suite of electronics you would usually find on a ship, our customer has fitted them onto an 8m trailerable boat. With a huge gooseneck trailer built road legal for both Canada and America, he can go any where by land or sea.

With survey equipment to map the Ocean Bottom his first contract is finding the ocean wrecks of deep Canadian waters. He chose the Bladerunner for its smooth operating in rough seas, important for his delicate equipment. Check out the article in the March edition of Proffesional Skipper.

The Goose neck trailer shown here launching is not on the Knave but one of the first we did in 2000. It won the award for the fishing boat of the Hutchwilco Boat Show that year. The Knave trailer was bigger and stronger but not used on NZ roads as she was not designed for NZ road legal specifications.

This 12m floating cafe was launched for Waiheke Harbours and trips around the Auckland Harbour. With two Iveco motors running through shafts she has a top speed of 38 knots and you could still be drinking your coffee. Easy viewing of the dolphins which were intent on staying with us on the sea trial – a huge foredeck with survey safety rails around makes for great viewing.

This 10m Game Fisher has found a home in the Hokianga of New Zealand. The extreme bar conditions meant a rough water boat was needed and Bladerunner provided the right boat for the right job.

Launched in February 2011 she has been busy diving and is taking a well deserved break up in Samoa enjoying the heat and Game fishing season.

With Extreme Measures up in Samoa at present, there are now two vessels working out of this resort. “Fish the Dream” was there when the Tsunami struck and she is still available for day charter trips for diving and game fishing.

There are two Bladerunners working the whale watching circuit in Tonga and exploring the Va Vau waters. They are efficient and safe with the foil technology keeping them fuel efficient, fast and extremely stable when everyone is leaning over one side to check out the whales. A great winter playground full of adventure and the Bladerunner Boat from the wild west on show.

Just check out the YouTube video below, with Benji Marshall fishing on the Gambler. You will see how she performs through the water. Specifically built for our clients, this boat runs on outboards and is fast and efficient meaning getting to the extreme East Coast fishing waters through the Whakatane bar is easy, safe and extremely quick.

The boat is an older vessel now but still is a low maintenance strong aluminium vessel for the extreme sea conditions found in Whakatane.
