Activa
Raised Pilothouse boats are making a strong presence in New Zealand as people realise their space advantages are a benefit over the conventional flybridge sports fisher. The US boaters have been fans of Pilothouse boats for many years as having the 3 levels and a long open flybridge gives multiple choices for outdoor and indoor entertaining. A large boat deck on the flybridge keeps larger "explorer" tenders aboard without spoiling the bow lines and when the tender is deployed, the boat deck is a great sunbathing area. There is a cockpit dinette, flybridge dinette or pilothouse dinette so whatever the weather, there is always a comfortable place ready to dine or sit for a social hour. The salon is not part of the galley but semi-detached so the chef can get on with the cooking and have a little peace and privacy. Three generous guest cabins for 6 guests and 2 heads with granite benches make raised pilothouse boats a winner for longer cruises.
Activa Pilothouse Trawler Style The 5600-6600 Pilothouse Trawler range is a single or twin engine vessel set up for long range cruising. It shares the same 17'4" wide stable hull as the larger engine contemporary styled cousins but the smaller engines allow for greater tankage to get the vessel comfortably to Fiji or beyond at 7-8 knots on a single tank of diesel. Sizes can be adjusted from 56, 59, 62 or 66 feet via the flexible hull mould which can be set at various lengths. This allows the salon and pilothouse to expand. A special feature of the Activa 6400 (pictured here) is the submersible swim platform for easy tender and kayak launching. Once the tender is off the platform the tender cradle flips up and provides a huge dive/swim or fishing platform. The submersible platform descends to below water level at the touch of a button for easy diver and swimmer access along with improved at-anchor stability when the platform is submerged.
