AUSTRALIA’S GREATEST FISHING BOATS
The Gold Coast boating scene continues to evolve, and one of the most exciting additions to the offshore market is the new range of Quintrex Trident models now available through Surf Coast Marine. Built for serious offshore anglers and coastal adventurers, the Trident range has quickly earned a reputation as one of the toughest and most capable aluminium plate boats on the water today. Designed to rule the ocean, the Quintrex Trident range combines cutting-edge hull technology with practical offshore fishing features to create a boat that feels equally at home crossing coastal bars, chasing pelagic species offshore, or cruising comfortably with family and friends.
At the heart of the range is Quintrex’s innovative Blade Hull, constructed using rugged 5mm plate bottom sheets and advanced stretch-forming technology. The result is a sharper entry point, increased deadrise and a narrower shoulder that allows the hull to slice cleanly through rough water with impressive stability and comfort.
For offshore anglers who regularly encounter changing sea conditions, this hull design delivers confidence where it matters most. The ride is smooth, predictable and dry, even when the weather turns less than ideal.
The Trident range is offered in multiple configurations to suit different offshore applications. The soft top lineup includes the 610 and 660 models, both featuring a fishing-focused rocket launcher design. For those seeking additional protection and extended capability, the range is also available in hard top configurations in the 660 and flagship 690.
The 610 Trident provides an ideal entry into serious offshore boating—compact, capable and confidence-inspiring. Measuring 6.28 metres in length with a 2.48-metre beam, it delivers a stable offshore footprint while remaining easy to tow and launch. With a maximum horsepower rating of 175hp and a 200-litre underfloor fuel tank, the 610 is perfectly suited to anglers stepping beyond inshore waters and into their first true offshore platform.
Stepping up, the 660 Trident represents the sweet spot of the range, balancing size, range and versatility. At 6.55 metres in length with a 2.48-metre beam, it pairs a 240-litre fuel tank with a maximum rating of 200 horsepower, delivering the capability to comfortably fish wider grounds while still remaining highly manageable for regular use.
At the top end, the 690 Trident stands as a genuine bluewater weapon, built for anglers who demand maximum range and offshore performance. Measuring 7 metres overall with the same 2.48-metre beam, it steps up to a 280-litre fuel capacity and a maximum rating of 250 horsepower, making it ideally suited to long runs offshore in pursuit of pelagic species and remote reef systems. Layout across the range reflects a clear understanding of offshore fishing. Functional cabins provide shelter and storage for longer days, while open rear decks allow multiple anglers to work fish with ease. Every detail is designed with practicality in mind, reinforcing the Trident’s bluewater credentials. Premium finishes also elevate the onboard experience, including U-Dek flooring, carpeted cabin lining, trim tabs, alloy side pockets, rear dive ladder and fully welded gunnels and side decks. Buyers can also customise their package further with a long list of optional upgrades available through both Quintrex & Surf Coast Marine.
