Takapu is an ex harbour defence motor vessel with a long history as a successful charter fishing boat.

One of New Zealand's well-known charter fishing vessel has undergone extensive modifications which included the installation of the very latest in navigation systems and the fitting of hull mounted anti roll stabilisers. The remarkable success of the new stability factors means that TAKAPU can now be regarded as one of the best sea boats on the New Zealand coasts.
