Port Macquarie Afloat: Polycraft 9.9HP — A Four‑Person Fishing and BBQ Day.
Set out from Jordans for a deliberately simple day on the water aboard a stable Polycraft boat built for comfort and light-boat fishing. The craft carries up to four people, comes fitted with rod holders, a casting deck and a protective Bimini top, and is powered by a Yamaha 9.9 four‑stroke engine that runs at 10 knots; Jordans maintains their fleet and provides safety equipment so you can focus on angling and a relaxed on‑board BBQ.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Stable Polycraft, easy on the water
The polyurethane Polycraft is built for stability and short‑range comfort, carrying up to four people and running on a Yamaha 9.9 four‑stroke motor that keeps speeds at about 10 knots so no boat licence is required.
Rigged for fishing and a casual cookout
Boats are fitted with rod holders and a casting deck, and Jordans supplies safety equipment, life jackets, sunscreen and BBQ utensils so you can fish and fire up a small on‑board BBQ during your hire.
Low barriers to get afloat
With operations kept at 10 knots there is no boat licence requirement; crafts are well maintained and the operator handles most provisioning on site, letting families and small groups turn up and go without specialist prep.
What the day feels like
What the day feels like
The trip is a compact, hands‑on day: launch from Jordans, settle under the Bimini, drop a line from the casting deck or from the gunwale rod holders, then pause mid‑day for a casual BBQ. The Polycraft’s steady hull and modest top speed make it an undemanding platform for groups of up to four for hires that run for up to six hours, with Jordans’ staff and maintained craft smoothing the small details of the outing.
