Classic launch

After 10 years and 1,000 hours, it's time for a new owner. If you are looking for a ‘project,’ then Skipjack is not for you. It’s all been done. Step aboard and go - on this the perfect Sounds or Hauraki Gulf character launch for two people or a young family, cruising and exploring, fishing and diving. Skipjack is a very well maintained, well-equipped and seaworthy kauri carvel craft that has these past few years, voyaged to the Barrier, to Whangarei and the Hen and Chickens, around D’Urville Island, to the Pelorus and across Cook Strait. Currently in one of the best berths in Waikawa - for sun and access, Skipjack has been extensively upgraded. Just come off the hard with International Micron AP anti-fouling and Propspeed. I will deliver to Paremata for a NI buyer.
