Donald Bradman and Mary MacKillop joined our fleet in 2015 with the same floorplan as our Group 1 10 Berth Cohers. Donald Bradman and Mary MacKillop have electric anchor winches and have each been fitted with 2 new 25hp Yamaha engines. The kitchens in Mary MacKillop and Donald Bradman have full-sized fridges and barbecues on the back decks. The TV onboard have HDMI and USB connections so please bring your favourite shows/movies along on your hard drives or USB drives to enjoy them whilst on the water. These two Coher 45' vessels are also equipped with electric anchor winches which makes them ideal for those who want to find that unique fishing spot or secluded bay.
