Explorer 720 HT
The Explorer 720 Hard Top is the flagship model of the Cruise Craft fleet of premium offshore boats. The Explorer 720HT delivers huge fishing capability and huge comfort to match. With a large fishing area, convenient underfloor kill tanks, a large dash and so much more. This boat is the number 1 choice for Australian offshore fisherman.
Boaters now have the choice of two Hard Top variations on the Explorer 720. The Hard Top can be optioned with a full-height glass window that extends from the front of the dash to the underside of the Hard Top moulding. The full-height glasswork also extends along both sides of the cockpit with sliding panels to allow a flow of air through when needed. Up north and over in the west where the heat can be just as much as an impediment to comfort as the rain, the Hard Top can be fitted with a standard windscreen and utilises Cruise Craft’s unique sail track system for the clears. When the clears are opened, a breeze can flow through the helm area, while providing protection from the sun and rain.
