Ship and Captain
Our vessel is a custom 2023 Northwest Aluminum Craft. Built on Vancouver Island and designed for the rigors of hardcore Westcoast fishing, these vessels handle rough water safely and comfortably and are known to be top of the line when it comes to aluminum hull design and ride quality.
At 26’ long x 9.5’ beam our vessel provides ample space for your group to enjoy, with comfortable seating for 6 guests inside our enclosed heated cabin. The spacious cabin has room for any gear, snacks and refreshments you require to make for an unforgettable day on the water. A private flush toilet, Bluetooth audio, dining table and large galley countertop ensure a comfortable day on the water no matter the weather outside. A large storage cabinet for guests is located under the galley for uncluttered storage of all your adventure essentials.
A starboard side door and a port transom door facilitate easy loading and unloading at the dock, eliminating the need to climb over high gunnels. This design makes spending a day on the water enjoyable and accessible for all.
Stepping outside, our huge 8’x8’ rear deck provides a giant dancefloor for fighting the fish of a lifetime or enjoying sights and sun with friends and family. A large cushioned bench seat and retractable awning will keep you comfortable rain or shine no matter what adventure you choose with us. High pressure washdown system keeps the rear deck clean, and fresh water washdown allows guests to rinse the salt off any valuable gear they may need.
Powered by Mercury. Twin 225Hp Seapro motors get you to and from your adventure quickly, quietly, and safely. At Frontier Adventures we take environmental stewardship and conservation seriously, and with the highest EPA and CARB ratings available Mercury marine helps us have the cleanest operating engines available. Our vessel is also equipped with a 25hp Mercury Prokicker, this allows us even more efficiently during low speed operation. Having a kicker also allows us to safely operate in shallow water and provides the security of a third engine.
Our vessel is fully equipped with top end Simrad electronics. Halo 20+ Radar helps operate safely in any conditions. AICS VHF radio lets us see and communicate with other marine traffic. High power CHIRP through hull transducer scours the depths helping find fish as well as underwater features quickly and clearly. A 12” main screen in cab and 9” rear screen lets you stay on top of what’s below from anywhere onboard.
All Transport Canada required safety gear is on board as well as AED and mobile VHF radio for guests on shore to contact the boat regardless of cell service ensuring your safe return from any adventure you join us on.
