THE BOAT STORAGE MIRACLE
World's only 13ft Catamaran that
fits in a 5x5 Storage unit
The entry-level hero of the New Zealander series. The Lake Master was born from a simple realization: The best boat is the one that doesn't own you. We took world-class New Zealand catamaran design and optimized it for the North American explorer. The result is a 13' 1" powerhouse that is rugged enough for the Great Lakes, yet modular enough to fit in the corner of your garage.
"It’s the pickup truck of the water—rugged, reliable, and ready to go where the big rigs can't."
GALLERY
UNSINKABLE
FOAM-FILLED HULLS
Technology: Just like a Boston Whaler, the "New Zealander" utilizes advanced foam core construction. This closed-cell technology provides exceptional buoyancy, making the boat virtually unsinkable, even if swamped.
*"Unsinkable" refers to the hull’s positive buoyancy construction; please still wear your life jacket.
