Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

Compact, social tinny for up to four

The tinny is sized for small groups—up to four people—and comes with onboard safety gear and a sunshade, making it a straightforward choice for a relaxed day of fishing or cruising.

THE WATER

Fishing and cruising on Lake Macquarie

These tins are promoted specifically for fishing trips around Lake Macquarie, offering a chance to cruise the lake with mates and chase local catches.

THE LIMITS

Smaller engine, smaller operating area

Because of the tinny’s engine size, operators restrict the boat to a smaller area of operation than larger runabouts—an important planning point when choosing this vessel.
