Cherokee 30

Our flagship boat, the CHEROKEE 30 is a truly versatile working boat offering the latest design and technology for off the beach water sports activities. 
 
The result of 25 years of careful thought, research, testing and design, the CHEROKEE 30’s ride quality and handling is second to none in the industry and her sleek lines turn many a head as she cuts through the waves. 
 
Designed with single or double crew operation in mind, our unique winch control, utilising foot operation by the helmsman, enables steering and parasailing operation all from one position. 
 
The CHEROKEE 30 gives responsive handling even at low speeds and a level, smooth ride when at full acceleration. The precision balance of the boat allows smooth horizontal lift on to the plane without bow rising and any loss of forward vision, essential when operating in busy waterways. 
 
Propelled by the reliable YANMAR 370 hp diesel engine and equally heavy duty ZF “V” drive gearbox, this combination gives you the best of both worlds. Direct power take off for the hydraulic winch drive, together with totally reliable shaft propulsion. Our boats are durable and economical, providing a return for the parasail boat operator for many many years. 
 
The CHEROKEE 30 uses a unique 100mm stainless steel arch with automatic launch facility able to deploy up to 44ft diameter parasails needed to carry three passengers into the air to an impressive 1000 feet. 
 
The advanced deep V hull (43 degrees moderating to 24 degrees) gives an extremely soft and dry ride. This is combined with flared chines which minimise drag and create high lift areas for easy planing and excellent stability. All this allows the owner to continue operating safely in wind and sea conditions long after other parasail boats have had to cease flights. 
 
Even when local weather conditions prevent you from parasailing, with a top speed of 35 knots (subject to conditions and loading), the CHEROKEE 30, still allows you an earning capability from your water sports franchise by offer waterskiing, wake boarding, banana trips and exhilarating rides for up to 12 passengers. 
 
The CHEROKEE 30 design is so good that it has been specifically rated not simply as class C (RCD Certification – European Community) offshore boat, but, also meets the full class B certification capable of crossing open seas.
