Haines Hunter 565 – An Affordable Offshore Package

The east coast of Australia is experiencing its best marlin bite in 10 years. The south coast now has a stable and seasonal southern bluefin tuna fishery. The west coast has an amazing offshore jigging and game fishery for all manner of species. The north has miles and miles of offshore reefs that you could fish till your arms are sore. The problem for many is getting out there without having to spend in excess of $80,000 for an ocean going game vessel. That used to be a problem until Haines Hunter released the all-new 565 Offshore. The new 565 has all you need to get offshore and target game fish. Equipped with a wide beam, a huge cockpit for its length, a 200 litre fuel tank and high sides for fighting big fish the 565 Offshore is ready to head out and tangle with apex predators.

National Sales Manager Tim Davies comments: This is one of the most affordable vessels that you can take offshore in rough ocean conditions. For too long anglers have missed out on some amazing fishing opportunities. Never has a boat of this caliber been available at price that sits under sixty thousand dollars. It’s equipped with high sides for safely fighting fish, a wide beam for stability and our famous deep-vee hull for soft offshore handling.

The beauty of the 565 is not only its value for money but also its versatility. Designed as a family cross-over the 565 doubles perfectly as a family cruiser. Equipped with a fold down rear lounge, roomy cabin, rear entry door and a port for a ski pole, the 565 can be just as fun for a day out snorkeling and water skiing as what it can chasing marlin.

Tim further comments: Our own feedback and experience at boat shows and a lot of feedback from dealers clearly showed that many customers were looking for a boat that wouldn’t break the bank, yet was an awesome fishing vessel that would suit the family. We spent a lot of time in research and development designing a boat that would keep dad happy on a day out chasing tuna and mum and the kids happy on a fun family day out.

The 565 Offshore is the most affordable and versatile offshore vessel that Haines Hunter have ever produced and it can keep up with the big boys out on the open ocean and get you on to that fish of a lifetime for less.
