Predator 599 – Kohi

A Predator 599 is the kind of boat that feels right at home in Jersey and around the Channel Islands. With nearly 6 metres of length and a deep-V hull, it’s built to take on fast-moving tides, coastal chop, and the ever-changing sea conditions that make boating here such an adventure. It offers a reassuringly solid ride while still delivering the excitement and freedom that make RIB ownership so popular.

What sets the Predator 599 apart is its blend of performance and practicality. It’s large enough to comfortably carry family and friends for a day on the water, yet agile enough to explore hidden bays, secluded beaches, and rocky coves that larger boats simply can’t reach. Whether you’re cruising across to Sark, dropping a line over a favourite fishing mark, towing water toys, or heading out for an evening sunset run, the Predator 599 handles it all with confidence.

The spacious layout provides plenty of room to move around, while the inflatable tubes deliver excellent stability both underway and at anchor. Combined with responsive handling and strong performance, it’s a boat that inspires confidence whether you’re an experienced skipper or relatively new to boating.

Perhaps most importantly, the Predator 599 is designed to make getting on the water easy. It’s straightforward to launch, economical to run for its size, and versatile enough to adapt to almost any activity. From family adventures and watersports to fishing trips and island hopping, it offers a fantastic mix of comfort, capability, and fun.
