Walker Bay
Strong used-market value
The brand
Walker Bay occupies an interesting position because the company has historically offered both hard dinghies and premium RIBs. Current ranges include the Venture and Generation families, but Australian new-boat availability should be checked before presenting any individual model as normal local stock.
The manufacturer's dealer locator did not clearly surface an Australian dealer in the material researched. Walker Bay remains very relevant on the Australian used-tender market.
Our take
Excellent boats to find second-hand. Do your homework on parts before buying new in Australia.
