Fishing VALHALLA freshly delivered into Hout Bay, Cape Town. As deadly and as magnificent as they come in our 930XL Game Fisher range.

Powered by 300HP Yamaha outboards with full Helm Master Ex Level 4 and accompanied by state of the art Garmin electronics. Tuna ready whilst not skimping on a super sheikh and comfortable design.

Were grateful for the hands that build these boats and the owners who trust us with their intentions.
