"Often referred to as Gentlemen's Cruisers or
Retro Style Picnic boats. These boats are finished with noticeable
amounts of hand crafted details, lavish teak and stainless steel
fixtures for the discerning boater. Set up for shorter excursions
and island hopping, the original Picnic boat concept was formed
in the Maine - New England region of North America. Styles were
borrowed from traditional lobster boats with a "Down East" theme.
The range we have available starts at 32ft and goes up to 50ft.
Higher horsepower is typical as speed is needed for these classic
coastal cruisers to get to far away destinations for short excursions.
Jet drive for shallow draft and off loading the picnickers on
the beach is often requested so we selected that drive system
on the Nordic Star model demonstrator while the Newport 3300 demonstrator
features shaft drive and a walk-around bow for safe family cruising
or fishing. We have adapted the US - European models to the Kiwi
lifestyle by providing good swim platform access and uncluttered
cockpits with recreational diving and fishing in mind."
