The Hunters Club comprises creator Dave Shaw and the stars of The Red Stag Timber Hunters Club and South Seas Spearo TV series. An experienced team of keen free divers and spearfishers.

Rowan lives in the beautiful Southland region at the bottom of the South Island. He manages a small spearfishing shop based in Invercargill. Living in some of the most rugged parts of the country where the sea can be unforgiving, he needed a safe reliable boat that was built for purpose and could handle the rough seas that we encounter. With this in mind, he could look no further than a Stabicraft! Rowan regularly go out spearfishing, and fishing, and travels around the South Island looking for great places to dive, and the different adventures to be had!

www.saltguide.com.au is an online subscription-based fishing guide based around Port Phillip Bay and Western Port in Melbourne, Australia. Their members log in to the website and obtain all the information they could possibly need for a successful day’s fishing - day in, day out. Being on the water in their Stabi’s most days to find the fish, they needed reliable, heavy-duty boats that wouldn’t let them down, so they love their Stabi's. Gawaine Blake and Craig Cox of "Salt Guide" were excited to get their 2050 Superdab and 1850 Fisher into the water. These will be the fourth and fifth Stabicraft's they have owned over the years. The 2050 Supercab will be used as a film boat for the hundreds of short tutorial videos on all things boating and fishing so the size and stability are perfect for their needs. The 1850 Fisher will be the workhorse used to find the fish in the bays and offshore, as well as to provide guides so again, a solid, reliable boat is key.

As the presenter and producer of fishing and the free diving TV show "Fishy Business" Adam spends a lot of time on the water all over New Zealand and need boats that can handle any conditions. Currently, he is running two Stabicrafts, a 2250 Centre Cab which he uses for offshore adventures, and 1550 Fisher for inshore and harbour fishing and free diving. He has always been a fan of Stabicrafts having had around 7 different models over the years from a 389 tiller steer right up to the two he has now. What he loves about Stabi's is the stability, comfort, and performance they provide. As the catchphrase says "You can adventure with confidence". When he's not on the water he spends time writing articles, putting out fishing and boating-related social media, and doing public speaking engagements at boat shows, boating, and fishing clubs. In his spare time, he loves cooking up delicious seafood that has been caught.

Reel Destinations is an Aussie-made fishing show focusing on coastal exploration. Mates Sean Dalton (creator) and Dyllon Schulz (host) were taking off on multiple trips up the QLD coast exploring, fishing and camping before deciding to take the camera along on their adventures. Now their dream has become a reality, and the boys enjoy chasing fish and exploring the Great Barrier Reef in their 2250 centre cab named Arvo Storm. 

Reel Destinations: it's a lifestyle!

Adventure has been in Adrian's blood since he was a child. He grew up building jumps for his dirt bikes in the Perth hills, but knew he had a soft spot for the coast so would take a 2-hour commute on the bus just to ride some waves with his mates.

30 years later, he packed up the 4x4 and moved to the south coast of Western Australia where the ocean is his backyard. As a heavy-duty mechanic in the mines, he spends his weeks off boating, fishing, and camping and has the boat out in the water any chance he can get. Adrian hasn’t completely given up the dirt though, because if the boat is ever parked up, he's out getting the 4x4 dirty. Chasing adventure is the forefront. Adrian never forgets to take the drone because sometimes you need to see it to believe it! he says.
