Skipjack | 85HP Sport Cruiser

Meet Skipjack, the ultimate all-rounder in the SFB Boat Hire fleet. Built on a classic, sleek white Scimitar 170 hull, Skipjack features a powerful 85HP engine with push-button Power Trim & Tilt and an expansive layout that comfortably seats up to 7 passengers. It strikes the ideal balance between high-octane watersports and relaxed, shaded cruising.

Fully permitted for both canal and river navigation, Skipjack delivers maximum flexibility for your day out. Want to pull the kids on a tube up the Kromme River? The heavy-duty stainless steel ski-bar and 85HP torque have you covered. Prefer a quiet afternoon cruise through the canals? The full sun canopy keeps everyone cool and protected from the midday sun.
