Auckland boatbuilder Stryda Marine has just released a centre-console variation of its popular 6m 600C (Cabin) go-anywhere amphibious cat. Equally adept at taking owners to remote destinations, the S (Sport) model’s even more tailored to sea- and land-based adventures.

Melbourne’s International Marine has built around 60,000 boats in 60 years. Founded in 1958 by the Spooner family, the company’s produced many different power and sail boats, but now exclusively manufactures its own Caribbean range of power boats.

Innovision’s range of bespoke aluminium boats is most certainly ‘different from the rest’ as the company proudly states on its website.

Clark Gayford, host of the Fish of the Day TV programme, has pretty exacting requirements. The pressures of producing the show, along with the fishing, means that when he gets on the water everything’s got to work perfectly.

A trip out onto the Hauraki Gulf demonstrates that she’s big on luxury, too.
