Probably the smallest boat to tackle "true blue" water conditions, the Naiad 4.3 -with the 15 deg or 21 degree vee hull- gives unparalleled handling and a soft ride. Often used as a tender to larger boats, the Naiad 4.3 is used for ferrying passengers, taking trips to out-of-the-way places for diving or fishing, and for quick trips to the mainland to purchase requirements. Popular in commercial tourism the Naiad 4.3 is the first choice for adventure trips in the surf, excursions to view wildlife, as a rental boat, for on-the-water enjoyment, and for fishing and exploring. It's also easy to trailer, even into remote places, while remaining safe and simple to operate.
