🎉Can we take a moment to celebrate the boss? 🎉

⚓A huge congratulations goes out to Andre, who has officially earned his Skipper qualifications! 🌊

Over the past 5 months, Andre has balanced the demands of running the workshop with the challenge of distance study, working his way through the theory requirements before tackling an intensive 10-days of practical assessment.⛴

💙Its been a lot of hard work, dedication, and determination, but the effort has paid off and we're incredibly proud of what he has achieved.😊

🛟Well done Andre! We know how much work went into this qualification, and we're looking forward to seeing where it takes you next!

🥳Please join us in congratulating him on this fantastic achievement! 👏👏👏

🛟As many of you know, we're proud supporters of Coastguard New Zealand and the incredible work their volunteers do to keep our boating community (you guys!) safe. 🚤

☺️This month our very own Jo Conroy - who handles front of house and admin here at WBC, and also volunteers as a radio operator with Coastguard Whanganui - is taking on a 10km swim to help raise funds for this vital organisation. 🏊‍♀️

⚓️If you'd like to support the cause, you can donate and follow her progress through the link below 👇

☀️How mean is this weather! 😎

🌊Are you one of the lucky ones out there chasing fish instead of stuck at work?🚤

🎣If you are - don't forget to stop by and see us to pick up your Fisherman Supply Co bait and berley. Because of its stable shelf life it takes no space up in the chilly bin - more room for fish!! 🎣

🐟🐟Nothing says "here fishy fishy" quite like this stuff! 😎

Gosh… it’s been a minute since we last posted.

🔥Can’t even say we’ve been flat out fishing — it’s been more a case of stacking firewood, chasing daylight and getting ready for the colder months 😅

❄️ Speaking of… is your boat winter ready?

🛟Winterising your outboard now can save you a whole lot of time, hassle and money when the warmer weather rolls back around. A little maintenance now helps protect your engine while it sits through winter and means you’ll be ready to hit the water when everyone else is scrambling. 🌊

Why not pop in and let the guys see you right 👍

🚤From servicing to winterisation, we’ll help keep your boat in top shape all year round.⚓️

You can't go past the Suzuki DF200!
These motors deliver exceptional performance every time, using an inline four-cylinder engine with a 2.9-litre "Big-Block" displacement, and a higher 10.2:1 compression ratio to generate impressive acceleration and low-end torque 💪
