DISCOVER YELLOWFIN

Every Yellowfin Plate Boat represents the passion and innovation of a talented team of the industry’s best boat builders and manufacturers. The commitment of raising the standard of offshore boating shines through the entire Yellowfin lineup. It's a commitment that runs through Yellowfin's heritage as Australia’s oldest boat manufacturer.

AUTO-DRAIN

DECK

A leader in safety, all Yellowfin Plate Boats are built standard with an auto-drain deck and fully sealed, no-return scupper system. The Auto Drain Deck expels water quickly and efficiently from the hull with a rear gutter which guides excess water to a lower chamber ready to be pumped out. Separate to the underfloor bilge pump, the Auto Drain Deck delivers another layer of safety.

INTER-LOK

CORE

Building on the success of the Southerner Range, the Extended Cabin features the next generation of hull design in the HD-R Hull and Inter-Lok core, delivering a more robust, stronger design with increased stability, handling, and responsiveness. Optimised for offshore conditions, the Inter-Lok core features 2 full-height stringers, 8 full-length one-piece stringers, and interlocking gibs for utmost strength and durability. Strength comes from within thanks to the Inter-Lok core setting a strong foundation, ready to take on the unpredictable offshore conditions.

MARINE CORE

CONSTRUCTION

It’s what’s under the floor that makes Yellowfin Plate Boats some of the toughest on the market. The entire range is built with an internal subframe, milk crate structure of longitudinal and latitudinal ribs designed to reinforce strength and help shape the hull. Each boat is constructed with vertical stringers each being 6mm thick and 5mm horizontal ribs for maximum strength, and completed with a fully-welded plate floor. To provide additional support to the self-draining floor, a box section floor frame is also fitted. Using extrusion specifically designed for marine products the chine and the keel are not simply welded but reinforced by a total of 4 welds performed by an expert technician. Constructed with up to 6mm plate bottom sheets of marine grade aluminium and 4mm topsides the Yellowfin Plate Range is built for serious fishing.

HD-R

HULL

Experience the epitome of open water performance with the all-new Yellowfin exclusive, HD-R Hull. Building on the success of the industry-leading Offshore HD Hull, the HD-R Hull incorporates the strategically engineered design and takes it to another level. Refined planing strakes and an overhauled cabin structure achieves an improved centre of gravity, enhancing overall performance. Whilst an updated sub-frame structure delivers increased strength. The Offshore HD-R Hull exclusively features on the Extended Cabin range.

INDUSTRY-LEADING

PERFORMANCE

Yellowfin has earnt an industry-wide reputation for producing high-quality, high-performing boats; masterfully crafted to suit Australia’s diverse waterways. Each Yellowfin Plate design is tried, tested, and tried again before released into the product lineup, ensuring that each boat not only meets, but exceeds expectations. Using the best technologies, materials, designers, and manufacturers, all with a passion for innovation, each Yellowfin design is explicitly unique to the brand.

OFFSHORE

HD HULL

The Offshore HD Hull is renowned in the industry for its soft, reliable, and stable performance. Constructed with up to 6mm plate bottom sheets, it is impressively strong, while its sharp entry point and 19-degree variable deadrise, cuts through swell for a comfortable ride offshore. The Reverse Chine works to deflect spray away from the boat to enhance stability.
