Guaranteed to exceed your expectations...
First class service, excellent catering, a wealth of experience and an immaculately maintained classic 80' motoryacht.
These four elements add up to a succesful event that will stay in your guests' memories for years to come.
Recently completely refurbished and immaculately maintained, the Commissioner II combines the best of traditional boatbuilding techniques with modern equipment and facilities to create the perfect harbour cruise environment - at refreshingly realistic rates.
Because the Commissioner II is extremely fuel efficient we can minimise our charter fees without compromising on customer satisfaction.
Built entirely of timber, she is whisper quiet and features a versatile combination of entertaining areas including an opulent saloon, spacious dining area, expansive bridge deck and ample exterior deck space, all with unimpeded views of the Harbour.
An added feature for presentations, DVDs and slide shows is the new a/v system including a retractable 40" LCD screen, integrated with digital TV and an onboard PC, and an I-pod compatible surround sound system and cordless microphones.
