SURF BOATS
Waidroka Bay Resort owns and operates a fleet of boats to choose from for various purposes. All of our boats are continuously looked after and maintained to a high standard to ensure our guests safety. Our boat drivers are all local and know the reefs extremely well. They are all specifically trained to operate the boats for our dive- and surf trips. Our 'Surf-Boats' are listed below and on any surf trip will stay with the surfers surfing the various breaks. The boats will be moored in the channel and boat drivers will remain on the boat at all times to ensure saftey, as well as serve as a haven for the surfers wanting to rest, have a drink or eat their lunch.
All boats always go out with mobile phone (nowadays there is coverage even at Frigates Passage and many of our guests send back immediate surf pictures straight from the boat). Water, snacks, lunch packs, if you wish to order bar drinks and medical kits are onboard. Our boats are always in contact with base and we ensure maximum saftey.
"YAMMY" 23 foot fiberglass Yamaha boat with single 40 HP Yamaha outboard. The "YAMMY" is our local reef boat and has a low draught, is simple to use for quick sessions to any one of our local breaks. She can handle the outside reef very well with a V-Hull shape and is great for quick trips anywhere. The YAMMY is the quickest and simplest way to get to our local breaks and due to its size and draught is the most versatile in our local reef conditions.
"WAVE HUNTER" 29 foot fiberglass Yamaha boat with single 4-stroke 90 HP Mariner. The "WAVE HUNTER" has a roof top, she will go with larger groups to our local breaks as well as out to Frigates and is as fast and comfortable as any of our larger boats.
"WAVE RIDER" 30 foot aluminum monohull with single 200 HP Mercury. The "WAVE RIDER" is our larger work horse and spends most of her time taking our surfers and divers to trips further out, including Frigates and back. She has a roof top. The Wave Rider is a V-Hull shape, is spacy with much comfort.
"FIJI EXPLORER" 32 foot aluminum catamaran with two new 225 HP Mercury Optimax outboards. The "FIJI EXPLORER" is our largest boat and will take out large groups only, mostly when there are larger parties and sometimes when both surfers and divers want to share the most incredible combination of fun: Surfing - Diving - Surfing - Diving etc... an absolute blast. She is our fastest boat and has a hard roof top which is great for storing surfboards.
