Glacier Bay at Webbe Marine

Renowned for their unique high-speed displacement hulls, Glacier Bay Catamarans have earned the highest reputation for design, performance and construction, said Webbe Marine.

The recent Glacier Bay appointment evens up the brand ledger at Webbe Marine, who offers the Australian-built Sailfish brand of aluminium power catamarans.

"We could not have asked for a better brand to complement our current line-up," said Webbe Marine co-director, Gavan Daly.

"The Glacier Bay Catamaran design is a work of art that delivers remarkable performance known the world over.

"Our customers looking to fibreglass catamaran solutions will find it very hard to go past a Glacier Bay cat once they've had a water test. They are arguably the best riding fibreglass catamaran on the market," Daly said.

Webbe Marine said that Glacier Bay cats are renowned for their soft ride in all sea conditions, exceptional strength, durability and incredible fuel efficiency.

"Quite simply, the Glacier Bay design gives more performance from less power," said Daly. "The displacement hull rides through the waterline rather than on top which means the hull doesn't bang or pound like other catamaran designs.

"The other benefit is a significant reduction in drag, meaning you can power these catamarans with far less horsepower than any competitor. So you get more performance from less power which ultimately saves our customers money," Daly said.

Recently winning the AMIF 2007 Imported Trailer Boat of the Year title, Glacier Bay Catamarans offer a stunning selection of highly refined fibreglass power catamarans from 7m to 11m in length, said Webbe Marine.

The current title holder, the 2270 Isle Runner, is an all-weather cuddy cab that offers all the performance of a Glacier Bay hull in a well handled Bluewater platform.

Webbe Marine will be showcasing a number of Glacier Bay models at the Sydney International Boat Show.

Powered by Honda four-stroke outboards, Webbe Marine said its boat show offerings will turn heads with the award winning 2270 Isle Runner on hand plus the larger 2685 Coastal Runner.

"As the only dealer in NSW, we are expecting consistent interest as our local market starts to understand more about these unique catamarans," said Daly.

Webbe Marine is a specialist Sydney marine retailer and the authorised agent for Sailfish, Zodiac and Glacier Bay brand of boats, and Honda outboards.
