The Navan C30 might be the Swiss Army knife of adventure boats. Nick Crabtree joins Campbell Wills from The Adventure Boat Company to find out why.
One day it’s a kids’ birthday on the harbour. The next, if the weather’s right, you’re heading up the coast to Pittwater or down to Botany Bay, to places you couldn’t get to in other boats. And if the weather turns, you still feel safe and secure. Some days it’s simply a better office: grab a coffee from a harbourside cafe, pick up a mooring and open the laptop somewhere beautiful.
You also don’t need a whole weekend to make it worthwhile. Most destinations are 15 to 20 minutes away, so a half day on the water still leaves time for school sport and everything else at home.
Out on the water, they’re doing 30 knots through a ferry wake, and still talking easily inside the cabin. There are enough creature comforts to make a night aboard an easy choice, too. As they point out, kids love waking up on a boat.
Whether it’s an afternoon on the harbour or a night away somewhere new, the C30 is built to make the most of the time you have. If it sounds like the kind of boating you’re after, have a look at the Navan boats currently for sale on Boatseekr.
