Now is a great time to buy a Sailfish

Northern NSW-based Sailfish Catamarans has been hand-building premium alloy power catamarans since 1993. Over that time, the ocean-rated twin-hull boats have gained a reputation as offshore craft par excellence, satisfying private and commercial owners with interests ranging from sportsfishing to diving to long-distance cruising.

Owners like their Sailfish catamarans for a number of reasons, but key among them are the big interior volume for the waterline, the amount of deck space on offer, the softness of their ride, and the inherent stability that the beam-forward catamaran design yields.

Combined with the standard alloy trailer, a Sailfish Catamaran becomes an easy-to-tow package that serves as a great platform for exploring far-flung destinations. Smaller models will comfortably tag along behind a family four-wheel drive.

Sailfish Catamarans represents the pinnacle of alloy boatbuilding Down Under. The boats are built using the company’s Hydroflow GEN 3 hull, which focuses on hydrodynamic efficiency, maximum stability and what Sailfish categorises as lightning-fast holeshot performance.

Salifish Catamarans’ Hydroflow GEN 3 hull design features wide running planks, a streamlined tunnel that is shaped to avoid funnelling, an extended transom that increases buoyancy, and chines that provide more lift for efficient running.

Sailfish Catamarans’ recreational boating range has grown to 10 models ranging from 6.9 to 11.8m (LOA).

All feature 25mm solid keels to protect the hull and 6mm turned-down chines that also deflect spray. They are built using a box section frame construction rather than channel, making the hull inherently stronger and more rigid.

The hulls are also foam-filled to make them quieter while running, as well as providing the added safety of additional flotation.

Sailfish’s multihulls are designed to excel in a range of uses, from a basic fishing rig that can run wide chasing gamefish right up to long-range luxury coastal tourers featuring the company’s Platinum Series enhancements.

All Sailfish Catamarans craft are supplied as turn-key packages, with a host of standard features that most manufacturers offer as options, meaning they are ready for the water from the moment you take delivery.

Fishing features include a seven-rod rocket launcher on the trailing edge of the hardtop, six welded rod holders around the cockpit and transom, plumbed livebait tank with overflow drain, alloy cutting board and a burley bucket.

Sailfish also recently launched an all-new version of its Sailfish 3200 Platinum Sports featuring a new cruising-friendly design and fit-out.

Luxury features on the 2020-build boat run to air conditioning; a generator set; hot and cold water; television, shore power; a separate berth with a step-down toilet/shower unit; solar charging; SeaDek flooring; a galley with dual gas hobs; microwave and upright refrigerator; convertible dinette; and an “alfresco-style” rear cabin opening window with an outdoor barbecue servery unit.

With open-ended international travel restrictions making many think about holidays at home, now is a great time to buy a Sailfish Catamaran and explore the many and varied waterways Australia has to offer.

Adding to the appeal of buying a Sailfish Catamaran right now is the addition of a bonus sports fishing pack that adds up to $15,000 worth of value. This is open to the first 20 customers to order a Sailfish craft.

Sailfish Catamarans are available in NSW via Webbe Marine or in Western Australia via Sportsmarine Boat Centre.
