Modular Power Meets Practical Innovation

The new Senator 550HT blends smart modular design, rugged aluminium construction, and impressive on-water performance — making it an ideal choice for fishers, divers, and adventurous families alike, as featured in Boating New Zealand.

The 550HT builds on Senator’s proven chamber boat design with a versatile hardtop layout, expanded cockpit space, and the flexibility of the Mission Modular system. Designed to suit both recreational and serious use, it offers plenty of smart factory-fitted options, generous internal volume, and practical features for long days on the water.

Performance-wise, the 550HT punches well above its size — offering a quiet, dry ride and excellent fuel efficiency. It planes easily, cruises happily around 30 knots, and remains light enough to tow with a single-axle trailer. Storage is smartly integrated throughout, with thoughtful additions like under-seat bins, removable bait station, and grab rails throughout the hardtop and cockpit.

Whether you’re chasing snapper, diving offshore, or taking the family for a weekend cruise, the 550HT brings together usability, safety, and style in a very complete package. For a deeper dive into its features and performance, check out the full review in Boating New Zealand.
