Cathedral Cove Water Taxis

Smuggler 800 Amphibious Water Taxi

Cathedral Cove Water Taxi runs a fleet of two Smuggler 800 Amphibious RIBs off the beach, from Hahei to Cathedral Cove. Being the only commercial operator allowed to land on the beach, this is a fantastic service for those who are not able to walk the track to Cathedral Cove. The Smuggler 800 Amphibious allows customers to jump on board straight from the beach, without even getting their feet wet!

“We currently own and operate three Smuggler Marine commercial passenger vessels. We have two amphibious 800cc water taxi’s, and one 750 tour boat. The ride is very good, the craftsmanship brilliant, but the best aspect for us is how willing Smuggler are to accommodate changes in design to suit our operations. We are so happy with the results that we are nearing completion of a Smuggler 1120 tour boat to join our fleet. This is very exciting for us, and Smuggler is an obvious choice for safe, comfortable, and bespoke commercial tourism vessels such as those we use in our businesses.”
