Backed by NSW property development company, the Henry Kendall Group, which also owns the highly successful boat dealership and marine superstore on the NSW central coast, CoastLife Marine, Rent-a-Boat will grow into a national network of franchises at places like caravan parks, service stations and tourist facilities by the water.
The franchises will train customers on boat safety before hiring out MAC and Polycraft polyethylene runabouts from 3–6m, powered by Mercury outboards. The inherent stability and safety of these boats - plus their near indestructibility - makes them the logical choice as boat hire platforms.
The boats will be fully kitted out and ready to hit the water, and will be a boon for travelling fishos who are exploring the coast but don't have a boat of their own, allowing them to get out onto the river or lake inexpensively and safely.
