Hear From Senator Boat Owners

Thousands of hours on the water. Hundreds of happy owners. See what Senator owners, commercial operators and independent reviewers from New Zealand and Australia have to say about their boats.

“The Bowentown bar was sloppy, running a metre of chop in a modest wind-against-tide situation. As might be expected from pontoon configurations of this size, the big Senators absolutely aced it in comfort.”

Sam MossmanFishing.net.nz Review

“The Senator hull incorporates five pressure-tested buoyancy chambers… The end result is a huge amount of reserve buoyancy.”

Martin AuldistFishing World Australia Review

“A well-performed, solidly-built and eminently functional watercraft. It provides a very comfortable ride, oodles of fishing space, supreme build quality and tonnes of buoyancy.”

Martin AuldistFishing World Australia Review

“If people ask me I always say the Senator is the best ali pontoon boat on the market. They can handle extreme conditions if you ever get caught in any.”

Roy JervisReel Addiction, RH650 (Western Australia)

“I have been fishing on Senator boats 28 years. I trust Senator. The boats are built tough for fishermen. I have been in some big seas in a range of Senators and have never felt unsafe.”

Doug CushingNo Limits, RH770

“I can’t fault the ride of a Senator. They’re very soft into a sea… They’re incredibly safe and I’ve never had that feeling like it’s going to broach on me.”

Dan GovierAquaDeziac, RH770 | The Captain Magazine Adventure Test (2024)
