Eligible for returns.
The middle/medium size in our Wettie float boat range for those who still need a good capacity but more limited space
Darren, owner of Wettie was the first to introduce float boats to New Zealand back in 1990. Since then we have made our own and sold a couple of other models over the years.
From this experience we have designed what we believe to be the best float boat not only in NZ but globally. Nothing currently on the market offers what our new Wettie Float Boat does.
Float boats are predominately for keeping fish out of the water & keeping sharks at bay but they have lots of very useful functions. Eliminate the need to take a catch bag with you. Quickly & easily chuck your shell fish, speared fish, lunch & drink bottle in your float boat when diving.
It is also a fantastic safety float. You are able to lie on it when you get tired swimming. Great for kids to be able to rest on or hold onto, and very high visually when diving in high boat traffic areas
- First up it will not sink loaded with fish and water!
- It has an easy to remove cover to completely clean it properly after use, no more smelly surprises on your next dive.
- Being low and flat, it is very hard to roll over.
- It has 2 handles for ease of carrying, holding onto while it the water and also for attaching spare items to.
- You can flush water through your Wettie Float Boat to keep your fish cool during your dive.
- Its white cover will reflect not absorb the harsh heat from the sun like dark colours do.
- It is designed to stand on its end and be tied flat against a wall in your boat, minimizing space taken.
- This size is suitable for smaller catches, it could fit a couple of big snapper, a few butterfish, a few blue cod or moki
- It is great for crays, paua, scallops and anything else you gather.
- If you want to take your kids or a friend snorkelling, they can clamber on top if they get tired and take a rest, you can tow them on top of it if necessary.
- Use the handles to wind your float line around from end to end after use.
- It will tow much easier than a float with fish or bags attached.
- The canvas cover has an integrated pouch to keep things separate like measures or energy bars for lunch!
- For competition spearos, choose red, orange or yellow which are the required colours for NZ competitions
