A key reason is convenience. It removes the need for a trailer – and trailer space in your driveway – and means you’re able to launch your boat right on the harbour in central Auckland. It also reduces overall wear and tear on the boat’s superstructure, fibreglass, paint, canopies and other materials. If you’re new to boating, it can remove some of the difficulty associated with storing, maintenance and transporting your boat to and from the water, leaving you to focus on the boating experience.
