New Boats

The perfect boat for a day out on the water with family and friends.
"Drifting" is a low-maintenance, easy-to-handle vessel designed for comfort, efficiency, and effortless maneuverability -- the ideal boat for the Noosa River, Mooloolah River, Moreton Bay, and Gold Coast waterways.
Powered by twin 2023 Suzuki 60 hp four-stroke outboards (approx. 107 hrs) with hydraulic steering, this boat delivers a very efficient cruising speed of 9 knots and a top speed of 16 knots. The ultra-shallow 40 cm draft allows easy access to beaches, creeks, and shallow channels that most boats can't reach.
"Drifting" was originally built as a sailing catamaran by professional boatbuilder Phil Holmes in 2019 and converted to a powered day boat by Ashby Boat Builders (Mooloolaba) in 2023.
She was recently antifouled (August 2026)
No expense was spared in creating one of the most capable and enjoyable day boats on the water.
