    Offering a dry ride, decent freeboard and good stability at rest, the Offshore is a small fibreglass cuddy-cabin family/fishing boat that’s easily towed, easily driven and robust enough to handle moderately rough water.

    This boat was designed as a practical, rugged 16-foot fishing platform. All up the boat is 5.5m long, including the bowsprit and swim platforms – this is the first 5.5 Offshore in New Zealand.

    In standard trim the 5.5m Offshore is fairly basic, but Scott White, whose family has marketed Caribbean boats in New Zealand for over 10 years, ticked all the factory options on this boat.

    These include LED navigation and cabin lights, a canopy, tonneau cover, removable carpet, port-side swim platform and boarding ladder, bilge pump, removable rear seats and a cabin-top grab-rail.
