Gisborne — Wanganui's Peter and Gary Huijs claimed an upset win in their quad-rotor turbo-charged jet sprint boat in Saturday's 5 February second round of the 2011 Jetpro Jetsprint Championship held near Gisborne.

Gisborne — This Saturday 5 February will be a busy time for Gisborne with the Jetpro Jetsprint boat championship event being run just after the conclusion of the 'Thunder at sea' off-shore power-boat event.

Gisborne — The first offshore powerboat championship race in Gisborne for nearly ten years was action-packed after the Wellington superboat lite class entry 'Rayglass' of daughter and father team Kelly and Grant Smith caught a rogue wave and flipped.

Gisborne — New Zealand’s best offshore powerboat racers are heading to Gisborne for round two of the 2010 Rayglass NZ Offshore Powerboat Championship on 6 February.

Port Gisborne cruise ship schedule shows timetable calendars of all arrival and departure dates by month. The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Gisborne, New Zealand. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Gisborne is a port city located in northeastern New Zealand. It is also the district's largest settlement, with population around 36,000. The town is home to a large Maori population, with 49% of the population identifying as Maori (compared to NZ's national average of 15%).

Originally, the town was named Turanga and in 1870 renamed to Gisborne, honouring the NZ's politician William Gisborne (Colonial Secretary between 1869-1872, and Minister of Public Works between 1870-1871).

In the past, Gisborne Harbour was visited by numerous ships, so it was developed as a seaport providing a more safe location for cargo shipping in comparison to Poverty Bay that is easily exposed to southerly swells. Meat works was positioned beside the harbour. Wool and meat were shipped from here. Currently, at the harbor are docked smaller fishing boats and ships loading logs for export.

Gisborne is a popular holiday travel destination in NZ, maintaining its rural charm. Local industries include horticulture, farming, forestry, agriculture. Wine production is another valuable source to the local economy.

Here is hosted annually the 3-day music festival "Rhythm & Vines". The event is held over New Year at the Waiohika Estate.

In May 2017, 4 of all the 10 scheduled for 2018 cruise ship calls in Gisborne were cancelled. These were Norwegian Jewel  (2 visits), and also  Golden Princess  (1) and Oceania Regatta  (1). Golden Princess visited Gisborne 4 times (Dec 2017, Jan and Feb 2018), and the remaining 2 visits were by MS Noordam  (Feb) and Crystal Symphony  (Feb). No reasons for the cancellations were given by the cruise companies involved. For season 2018-2019, Gisborne port had scheduled a total of 16 cruise ship calls.

Gisborne Airport

However, probably the town's most popular attraction is the Gisborne Airport, What is special about it is that it has a railway line crossing it.

The airport has 1 terminal and 2 tarmac gates. The Palmerston North–Gisborne Line (PNGL) was constructed between 1872 and 1942. The railway is operated with diesel locomotives and serves passenger and cargo / freight transportation. The line branches from the Main Trunk Railway (Palmerston North), running east to Woodville. There it meets the Wairarapa Line, proceeds to Hastings and Napier , then follows the coastline north up to Gisborne.

$1.55 per liter.  But rather than wince and reach for his wallet, Monte Gisborne actually cracked a smile as he waved to the gas attendant expecting him to make the customary fill-up.  “No thanks” he said “Today I’m filling up with a blend of sunshine and relaxation!”

and buzzed quietly into downtown Ottawa 6 days later, without a roar or a ripple to be seen or heard.  Not a drop of oil was burned in the process and the Gisborne family, including wife Denise and daughter, Deanna, nine, seemed rested and comfortable as they greeted media and government at Dow’s Lake Marina near Hartwell’s Lock.  The family stayed aboard the boat during the entire trip, cooking meals and sleeping under the large overhead solar array.  “I think that the main difference between our Rideau cruise and those made by others is public perception” stated Gisborne.  “People expect to give up so much by ridding themselves of oil, but that really wasn’t the case here at all.  We enjoyed ourselves equally or perhaps more than those who miss so much over the roar of a motor or barely see anything due to the blur of the landcape and wildlife going by.  Most creatures are skittish and tend to scatter when a faster and louder boat goes by.” 

The Gisbornes would do exactly as gas boats do and plug into a power outlet readily supplied by the marinas and lock stations they docked at overnight.  Each day would start with a fully-charged pack of batteries and end with about half of a charge still left.  “At no time ever did we feel uncomfortable that we would get stuck without a charge” Gisborne stated “ that notion simply goes away with experience”.  All onboard devices such as a fridge, kettle and microwave also got their energy from the same batteries.

It was opened in 1832 to transport British troops from Montreal to Lake Ontario to protect its subjects from foreign invasion (which didn’t materialize) and didn’t evolve into a tourist attraction until the end of that century.  Plans are presently underway to classify it as a World Heritage Site in 2007 by UNESCO.

“The sustainable future of the Rideau and other waterways depends on a new boating regime and electric boating offers just that.  We need sensible options if we want to leave something for future generations to enjoy…  and I believe that water, fun, safety and electricity do mix!”

Powerboats 101: The Ultimate Guide to Speed and Thrills on The Water

David Ciccarelli

February 2, 2024

In this article

Get started.

Types of Powerboats

When you’re out on the water, the kind of powerboat you choose can greatly influence your experience. Whether it’s for leisure or sport, these mechanical marvels are as varied in design and functionality as they are exciting.

If you’re all about velocity and performance, you’ll find speedboats produce an adrenaline rush that’s hard to match. Known for their powerful engines and sleek design, these boats are built for speed. Imagine feeling the wind whip through your hair as a twin-engine speedboat races across the water’s surface.

Ready for a fun-filled day with family and friends? Then the versatile bowrider is your go-to. With open bow areas, these boats welcome more passengers and facilitate a variety of water activities.

Cabin Cruisers

Experience luxury on the water with a cabin cruiser. These boats often include comfortable accommodations—think of them as your floating holiday home. With amenities for overnight stays, they cater to the cruiser who doesn’t want to leave the comforts of home behind. Cabin cruisers typically use robust inboard engines and technology to offer a smooth, steady ride for those long-distance ventures, as described by luxury boat manufacturer, Ocean Yachts.

Center Console Boats

Whether you’re an avid fisherman or enjoy casual trips around the bay, center console boats have become synonymous with versatility. With the helm positioned in the center of the boat, you get 360-degree access to the water, perfect for casting a line from any angle. Many center consoles are rigged with triple outboard engines, giving a reliable performance.

Key Features and Accessories

In the exhilarating world of powerboats, every enthusiast knows that it’s the advanced engines, sleek hull designs, cutting-edge navigation systems, and luxurious touches that distinguish the best vessels. Whether you’re out for performance or indulgence, let’s explore what sets a premium powerboat apart from the rest.

Engines and Horsepower

Have you ever felt the thrill of raw power as you throttle up? The heart of a powerboat is its engine, with horsepower (HP) ratings that can soar into the thousands for performance models. For instance, Formula Boats, known for their high-performance powerboats , equip their vessels with engines that can deliver upwards of 600 HP. High-powered engines ensure that propulsion and performance are maximized for those who crave speed and agility on the water.

Hull Design

Ever wondered why a powerboat cuts through the water like a knife through butter? Hull design is key , with deep-V designs commonly used for their ability to slice through waves and provide a smoother ride in rough conditions. The design isn’t just about performance; it significantly contributes to the vessel’s safety and stability.

Navigation and Electronics

Today’s powerboats are akin to technological marvels floating on water. The integration of high-tech navigation and electronics systems is essential for both safety and convenience. Touchscreen interfaces, GPS mapping, and radar can be found on state-of-the-art models, with technology like the Simrad GO9 XSE being an example of a top-tier fish finder with navigational competencies.

Comfort and Luxury

Lastly, who says you can’t be comfortable while zipping across the waves? Powerboats can be floating paradises with luxury and comfort rivaling high-end automobiles. Premium seating, ample storage, and amenities like air conditioning and heaters mean that your time of the water is as enjoyable as possible. For those who appreciate the finer things, accessory options such as the best boat grill from Magma or waterproof Bluetooth speakers enhance the experience—think concert hall acoustics at the mere push of a button.

Don’t you agree that knowing the ins and outs of these features will not only boost your boating knowledge but also influence your next purchase or upgrade? After all, it’s these details that can define your seafaring lifestyle!

Powerboat Brands and Manufacturers

When you’re exploring the world of speed and luxury on water, you’ll come across some standout names synonymous with quality and reliability. Let’s steer our course through some of the leading powerboat brands known for their exceptional performance boats, comfort, and style.

Yamaha Boats

Yamaha stands as a titan in the marine industry, offering a fleet of powerboats that blend performance and pleasure. With their jet propulsion systems, these boats are not only fun but also safe, as they come without external propellers. The Yamaha lineup includes models ranging from nimble jet boats to spacious luxury versions, where you can feel the thrill of the waves without compromising comfort.

Considered by many as a leader in the powerboat realm, Sea Ray crafts vessels that epitomize the balance between elegance and edge. Known for their sporty yachts and cruisers, Sea Ray’s models offer you a slice of heaven with their plush interiors and state-of-the-art amenities. It’s not just about the looks; these boats are engineered to perform, ensuring your time on the water is nothing short of extraordinary.

Boston Whaler

Praised for their unsinkable hulls, Boston Whaler has carved a niche for themselves in the powerboating world. This manufacturer is particular about safety and dependability without skimping on luxury. Their boats, often termed the “Legends of the Sea,” range from versatile center consoles to upscale cabin cruisers, giving you a trusted platform for any aquatic adventure.

Uncover the passion behind each model’s creation and set sail on your next voyage with a trusted builder. Whether you’re after adrenaline-filled water sports or serene yachting escapades, these brands have something tailored just for your experiences on the water.

Choosing the Right Powerboat

When you’re in the market for a powerboat, the sheer variety can be overwhelming. You want performance, luxury, and technology, all within your budget. Let’s slice through the waves and focus on what really matters for you and your nautical adventures.

Assessing Your Needs

What are you dreaming of when you think of a powerboat? Is it speeding across the bay, rods bending with the next big catch, or leisurely cruising with your family? Identify the primary use: fishing , family fun, or traveling long distances. Keep in mind, the choice you make here steers the rest of your decision-making process.

Budget Considerations

Be frank about your budget. A brand new speedboat can set you back a hefty sum, but remember, the initial price isn’t the whole story. The National Marine Manufacturers Association states that maintenance costs can be about 10% of the purchase price annually, so factor that in when you’re thrashing out the numbers.

Size and Maneuverability

Bigger isn’t always better. A compact powerboat can offer thrilling performance and easier handling , particularly in choppy waters. Conversely, a larger vessel may be necessary for stability and features when planning long-haul sea journeys. Consider what you’ll be comfortable maneuvering and where you’ll be doing most of your boating .

New vs. Used Boats

A shiny, new boat is tempting, but a gently used vessel could get you more bang for your buck. When considering new versus used, weigh the warranties and the potential for modern features against the depreciation and potential hidden costs of pre-owned models.

Maintenance and Care

Taking care of your powerboat is crucial to ensuring peak performance, maximizing reliability, and guaranteeing safety during your watery adventures. Remember, a well-maintained powerboat can save you money in the long run on costly repairs and downtime.

Regular Maintenance

The heartbeat of your powerboat is its engine, and routine maintenance is your best defense against unexpected failures.

• Check the fuel tank : Always start with inspecting the fuel tank for any signs of contamination or leaks, as clean fuel is essential for a healthy engine. Did you know that water contamination in the fuel accounts for a significant percentage of marine engine issues ?
• Engine checks : Regular oil changes and filter replacements are like a health check-up for your powerboat, and adhering to the manufacturer’s schedule can also preserve the warranty.
• Battery care : Keep the battery terminals clean and check the charge before setting sail. A dead battery is a common headache you’d rather avoid.

Remember, each manufacturer has specific guidelines , so consult your owner’s manual for detailed instructions!

Cleaning and Storage

A clean powerboat isn’t just about good looks—it’s about ensuring longevity and maintaining value.

• After each outing , rinse your powerboat to remove salt, algae, and other abrasive materials. Boats.com suggests using a light brush and mild soap for most cleaning tasks.
• Storage tips : When it’s time to dock for longer periods, proper storage conditions are essential to keep your powerboat safe from environmental damage. Keep it covered and, if possible, out of the water to prevent hull blisters and corrosion. Remember, a well-protected boat ensures that the safety measures you rely on are always in order.

Ultimately, maintaining and caring for your powerboat is a journey, not a destination. It’s about keeping you, your passengers, and your investment safe. So, grab your mild soap and maintenance checklist, roll up your sleeves and give your powerboat the love it deserves!

Safety and Regulations

When you set out on your powerboat, it’s crucial to keep a few things in mind: your safety, the safety of your passengers, and staying compliant with rules and regulations. Let’s not skim over these details, as they could mean the difference between a fantastic day on the water and an unpleasant run-in with the authorities—or worse, an accident.

Powerboat Safety Essentials

Before throttling up your speed machine, let’s talk about what you should have on board to ensure everyone’s safety. Don’t forget, this isn’t just good sense—it’s the law.

• Life Jackets : First and foremost, you need a USCG-approved life jacket for each person aboard. They aren’t just floaty fashion statements; they save lives.
• Communication Device : An efficient sound-producing device is mandatory for powerboats less than 65.6 feet. In simple terms, make sure you have a way to signal for help if the unexpected occurs.
• Fire Extinguishers : Fires can happen, even on water! Ensure you have the right type of fire extinguisher on board to handle any flames that dare disturb your peaceful voyage.
• Navigation Lights : If you’re out past sunset or before sunrise, proper lighting is not optional. It’s about seeing and being seen.

Boating Regulations

Regulations are like the buoys of boating—they guide you safely and keep you in line. What do you need to know to stay legal and enjoy your time without hassle?

• Licensing : Depending on your location, you may need a boater’s license . Think of it as a driver’s license for the water. Make sure yours is current and recognized by the waters you’ll be cruising.
• Speed Limits : Yes, they exist on the water too! Not every area is a free-for-all. Certain zones will have restrictions especially near marinas, swimming areas, or ecologically sensitive regions.
• Comfort : We’re not just talking plush seating—a comfortable outing also means having enough space for each passenger and not overloading your boat beyond what’s considered safe capacity.
• State-Specific Regulations : You’ve got your federal laws , and then you’ve got your state quirks. Some states have specific rules that are unique to their waters, so do your homework!

Remember, each powerboat is a unique vessel and recommends it’s own maintenance rituals that can affect your safety and adherence to regulations. Brand names like Sea Ray and Boston Whaler are known for crafting their boats with safety and comfort in mind.

By taking the time to familiarize yourself with these safety measures and regulations, you’re not just preparing for a safe trip; you’re ensuring that your time on the water is as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Now, who’s ready to make some waves, within limits, of course?

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

What speeds can I expect from a powerboat? Your powerboat’s speed can vary widely based on factors like size, design, and engine power. Generally, a leisure powerboat might cruise around 20 knots, while high-performance models could soar past 50 knots!

Any safety tips for first-time powerboat users? Absolutely! Always wear a life jacket, check the weather before heading out, and ensure your boat has all necessary safety equipment. Familiarize yourself with the operation and emergency procedures—safety first!

Is fishing viable with any powerboat? While not all powerboats are designed for fishing, many are very suitable. Features like rod holders and live wells turn a standard powerboat into a fishing-friendly vessel.

Remember, the joy of boating comes with responsibility. By keeping these FAQs in mind, you’re all set for a fantastic time on the water. Happy boating!
