🎉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! 👏👏👏

☀️Well well... finally the weathers pulled its head in and the rivers done throwing its tantrum. 🌊Here we are now in a sweet little window of glassy conditions - just perfect to get out there for a fish! 🎣

And what pairs up best with a calm sea?

So if you're heading out there - pop in to the Whanganui Boating Centre, grab your bait, and make the most of this window!

🌊We reckon its a pretty sweet day to be out on the water... so the Midwest 7.5 Phantom is out there doing what it was built for! ⚓

🔥This is a seriously good looking rig (even if we do say so ourselves) and with the grunt of a Suzuki 350 on the back, it doesn't just look the part - it moves too!😎

Built tough. Built Right. Built for days like this.

🌊Here at WBC, we’re a small crew… but big on passion. Boats, the ocean, fishing, and everything that comes with it – it’s not just a job for us, it’s a way of life ⚓

🐟One of the best parts? Passing that love on to the next generation. Our kids, our grandkids… the future little boaties and keen fisherpeoples of Whanganui. 💙

🥰Judging by those smiles, we’d say it’s working pretty well and they already hooked! 😉🎣

👇Now it’s your turn to boast! Show us your mini crew! Drop a photo in the comments of your young boaties in action 🚤 🛟

Hovercrafts! How fun it that!

Hovercrafts… now that’s not your everyday workshop job 😅

But in the space of 10 minutes this week, we had two roll in! 😎Safe to say the crew were pretty chuffed — nothing like a curveball to keep things interesting.

🌊Our team loves a challenge, and these were definitely a step outside the usual boats and outboards… but that’s where the fun is 💪

Got something a bit different that needs sorting?
Bit weird, bit wonderful, or just plain stubborn? Give us a shout — we’re always keen to get stuck in ⚙️🚤
