Kiwi Kraft 585 FISHERMAN CUDDY

585 FISHERMAN CUDDY is a 5.95 m aluminium pontoon cuddy-cabin boat from Kiwi-Kraft, built to New Zealand CPC standard and MSA specifications. The model incorporates Kiwi-Krafts Hush Tec technology and multiple sealed pontoon buoyancy chambers for enhanced safety, quiet ride and superior performance offshore.

The 585 FISHERMAN CUDDY features a compact cuddy cabin with foredeck hatch, generous floor-to-gunnel height for security, and a practical fishing-focused cockpit. The wide beam and pontoon design provide stability, while the underfloor storage tank and transom walk-through with door optimise space and access to the rear boarding platform.

The standard layout includes comfortable seats on soft-rider pedestals with sliders, alloy rod holders, an outboard pod and provisions for ski pole fittings. With a maximum rating of 175 hp and capacity for up to 6 people, it is configured as a versatile coastal fishing and family boat.

Key construction details include a 5 mm hull, 3 mm pontoons and topsides, and 4 mm floor, delivering a robust structure suitable for serious fishing and rougher conditions. Standard equipment covers electrical, safety and usability items such as bilge pump, switch panel, battery system and transducer mount, with a wide range of optional extras available to customise the boat for specific fishing or recreational use.
