The top roof can only be lifted at the final destination |
What you may not be aware of is the precision and time needed to transport these boats to their respective waters...

Yesterday (8th August 2013) we loaded one of the biggest Aqua Leisure 1660DD boats we have manufactured to date. With a maximum capacity of 100 people (subject to lake captains authority) and a double story, she certainly is a big ship! Click here for more in depth images of the loading process!
The front of the raft on stands |
Because of the power lines running across Zimbabwe, we are only in a position to put the second roof on when we arrive at the destination. This boat is on the road to Victoria Falls as we speak!
The Low Loader coming out the gate |
We have manufactured cruise boats in Zambia and commercial cruise rafts in Botswana alike. Probably one of the most fulfilling parts of the job is to see the boat loaded on a low loader truck and heading for the might waters of the Zambezi river, knowing that in it's life time, THOUSANDS of people will board the cruise boat and see what Zimbabwe has to offer, never forgetting the trip...
We had to shut down a main road!! |
A big thank you to Western Transport for a strategic plan on loading the boat and we wish you a safe journey with King Lobengula III.
And we wish you a safe journey!! |
