BumbleBee

BumbleBee or “Bee” for short, is our rugged and roomy Stabicraft – built for adventure!

“Bee” as we call him, the newest weapon in our fleet. This Stabicraft 1850 Frontier centre console is purpose-built for serious fishing and intimate adventures, comfortably accommodating 1 to 4 guests.

Don’t let his compact size fool you – Bee is an 18-foot powerhouse with an impressive amount of deck space, offering unmatched casting and fishing room for his class. Fully equipped with the latest tech, including a GPS-guided Minn Kota electric motor, Lowrance electronics, and commercial survey certification, he’s ready for anything.

Whether it’s a local mission on Lake Wakatipu or an off-grid adventure across Southland and Otago, BumbleBee delivers performance, access, and versatility. Ideal for fly fishing, trolling, or casting from bow to stern – this is your go-anywhere, fish-anything rig.

⚓ Trip Style:

BumbleBee is built for small private & shared charters and quick missions close to shore – perfect for couples, families, or mates who want a hands-on adventure. His compact design lets us reach quiet coves and crystal-clear shallows that few others can, making every trip feel personal and wild.

💬 Captain’s Note:

“Bee might be our smallest boat, but he’s an absolute weapon on the water. Fast off the mark, rock-solid underfoot, and just a ton of fun to drive – he’s the one we take when we want to cover water and chase fish in comfort.”
