Cruise Cat for Lake Taupo was designed and built by Robertson Boats to provide a commercial charter and tour platform for a local operator in the area. The spec was to provide a versatile, high speed, economical catamaran with a narrow beam for ease of berthage and getting in and out of the river. This vessel was loosely based on the successful Robertson Boats designed and built now Fullers 360 Discovery 1, 2 and 3 boats (formerly the Kawau Kat fleet).
