The first makaira gen3 770 was ordered by George, a keen fishermen from Melbourne. This boat will be showcased at the Melbourne boat show from October 17 to 20 (stand 61), giving visitors the opportunity to see the first 770 up close.

For George, owning the Makaira Gen3 770 meant fulfilling a lifelong dream of catching a New Zealand yellowtail kingfish. as part of the Makaira experience, he got to take his boat on a maiden voyage in New Zealand before it was shipped to Australia. During the trip, George and his son successfully caught their dream fish, making the experience even more unforgettable.
