Whittley Marine: Fleetmasters

Smart and sleek, the Fleetmaster 23 (limited edition CR 2380 package) is a trend setting compact sports cruiser that turns corners – and heads. Retaining classic Whittley hallmarks, like the solid curved sliding cabin door that opens into a large V-berth cabin, the Fleetmaster 23 is built on a seagoing platform that is rugged and resilient. The variable deadrise hull provides a smooth, dry ride and affords ample storage and accommodation options. A further large storage compartment runs down the starboard side of the cockpit and forms an L-shaped lounge, which converts into a double bed and uses the dinette table as an infill. The optional moulded Targa bar acts as a mounting point for the antenna, navigation lamps, full covers and clears. A curved and tinted glass windscreen is enhanced with a standard-issue wiper, and the spacious and well laid out helm features tilt-adjustable steering, space for a sounder and moulded cup holders. An adjustable bucket seat and a clever galley with cold and optional hot water, removable portable stove and fridge, complete the appointments. The cabin takes advantage of the Fleetmaster 23’s generous beam creating an inviting environment to relax or overnight in. The roomy cockpit flows to a moulded transom step-through, providing easy access to the boarding platform, which also acts as an alfresco balcony and fishing platform.

The Fleetmaster 26 (Limited edition CR 2600 package) sets the stage for your main event. If you’ve dreamed of owning a family sized weekender but mooring, antifouling and constant maintenance are not on your agenda, this could be your passport to a lifetime of memories. With all the style and flair of its larger sibling, the Fleetmaster 26 represents a milestone in family boating, offering an edgy yet versatile boating experience. Eye catching and spacious, the tightly drawn lines and subtle curves hint at something special and stepping on-board only confirms your first impression. Making the most of its 2.49m beam, the Fleetmaster 26 is both spacious and innovative. An elegant helm console with twin seat provides the captain and first mate a commanding view through the panoramic windscreen. Ergonomics have been well considered and everything falls easily to hand. The sliding curved solid cabin door reflects the detail Whittley is renowned for. A full service galley and generous V-berth are complemented by the rear lounge, which morphs into another berth. The wide rear deck is accessed via a drop-down door and hides cavernous storage below deck. New zip wakeautomatic trim tabs are now a standard feature on the CR 2600. Powered by your choice of petrol or diesel Volvo Penta Sterndrives, up to 380HP, the Fleetmaster 26 has long legs and excellent long-range cruising potential. All this in a performance powerhouse bred to thrill.
