We recently returned as a team from our week-long visit to our two shipyards in China, this was not only to quality control boats in build but also to refine and check on our new models finishing up for deliveries in 2018. Our first two sedan models to arrive in April will be the new Hudson Bay 390 single cabin and the all new Hudson Bay 540, both will proudly display the Facheris Design Euro interiors which are open, well lit, modular and contemporary. These new models are a step change for our motor yacht brand and we are very excited to bring them to Australia so you can all, feel, see and drive.

Our other Ningbo factory have almost finished the first Explorer Series 46 Pilothouse which will arrive in April for her Sydney owner, she is a three cabin version with two bathrooms and powered by twin Cummins 480 HP engines.

A very exciting new model in the Hudson Bay range is the all-new 470, we walked the boat, which is effectively now fitted with all her interior cabinetry so we can really assess the spaces and ergonomics of her. While she is delayed longer than we had hoped, the new 470 will arrive in time for Sydney Boat Show in July and will be equipped with twin D6 435 Volvo's and have the new C-Zone touchscreen control systems installed. Your whole boat can be controlled by your iPad or smartphone.

It's certainly going to be an exciting year when these new models are all here to show off during boat show season, we have been talking about them for long enough and now it's time to deliver.

Over the next week or so we will be posting some drone footage and quick video walk through of all of these new models.
