Having recently taken delivery of a new Smuggler 800ss RIB Amphibian, with electric/ hydraulic drive . I
can say without fear of contradiction that this vessel has totally exceeded my wildest expectations.
This is my third Smuggler amphibian since 2016. It’s been interesting to witness , how David and his team continue to lift the bar. The quality build and proven design coupled with the very latest innovations and technology delivers superb overall performance. When the going gets rough the 800ss leaves others in its wake.
Having been an active boatie for over seven decades ,in both sail and power , I feel well qualified when extending Smuggler my highest endorsement. David Pauline and Logan and their team of highly trained staff run a tight ship. The vessels that they create are testimony to their dedication and skill. Vessels that deliver on all counts.
I would take this opportunity to thank the Pringle Family for full filling my dream.
