We chose the Haines Hunter SF545 and ordered it twenty-four times. One-design simplicity. Same handling, same layout, same gear - whichever marina you sail from, you already know the boat.
A 5.95-metre New Zealand built sport fisher with a deep-vee 21° hull. Built for chop, capable in open water, and forgiving for new skippers. Walk-around cabin, full Bimini, and a self-draining cockpit. The same boat trusted by hundreds of Kiwis is trusted by us.
Twelve at Westhaven. Six at Gulf Harbour. Six at Half Moon Bay. Same boat at each.
Charter fleets are sometimes a mongrel mix - different engines, different layouts, different quirks. Walk on, spend twenty minutes working out where the battery switch is, lose half your morning.
Ours aren't. Every SBC boat has the same engine, the same plotter, the same bait board in the same place. Learn one, you know twenty-four.
Service is faster. Parts are interchangeable. Training is consistent. And if your usual boat is booked, the next one over is exactly the same one - just with a different number on the side.
Come and see the fleet and set-up with a guided tour at Westhaven. The boat, the marina, the membership - no pitch deck.
