Outboard Boats come in various sizes and designs, making them suitable for a wide range of activities. Smaller Outboard Boats are often used for fishing and cruising, while larger ones may be used for water-sports, offshore adventures, or as tenders for larger vessels.

Personal Watercraft
Welcome to Personal Watercraft
The Jet Ski, a Personal Watercraft, was first introduced in the 1970s by Kawasaki Heavy Industries. It was originally marketed as a stand-up watercraft and gained popularity for its agility and thrill-seeking capabilities. Over the years, Kawasaki expanded its lineup to include sit-down models, leading to the widespread adoption of the term ‘Jet Ski’ to refer to any Personal Watercraft, regardless of brand.
Personal Watercraft sometimes known in its abbreviated form PWC’s, or now more commonly known as the ‘Jet Ski’.
Today, Jet Skis are popular for recreational use, watersports, and even professional racing, shaping the Personal Watercraft industry with their innovation and performance.
Ahoy there! ⚓ Welcome to Catamarans
A Catamaran’s main feature is its two parallel hulls (floats) of equal size, connected by a frame or deck. They range from small recreational boats to large ocean-going vessels, and are known for their ability to sail at higher speeds than monohulls (single-hulled boats with heavy keels) due to reduced water resistance.
Sailing Catamarans often have a large sail area, and their design allows them to harness the wind more efficiently. Power Catamarans typically have two engines, one in each hull, providing very good deck space for fishing, and ferry services.
The interior layout is the major attraction and on a typical 40 foot Catamaran, two double cabins and a bathroom in each hull, plus a bridge deck saloon with panoramic views and a huge cockpit, very useful for the charter market and the leisure sailor, providing very comfortable cruising.
