2017 Protector Tauranga 38

Manufacturer Provided Description

Designed for tough luxury in any sea conditions, the Protector Tauranga 38’ vessel features a more spacious cabin layout, expanded interior and seating options, fully enclosed standing head and a multitude of entertainment and passenger comforts. Precision handling, stability, and speed that is the signature of all Protector boats, the Tauranga 38 provides any time boating pleasure, even in unfavorable weather conditions. Custom built with Protector’s high-quality precision craftsmanship for the most discerning yachtsmen, the Protector’s Tauranga 38’ is a supremely-equipped, high-speed, ultra-comfortable adventure boat with performance handling for the ultimate all-day on-the-water adventures.

The Tauranga 38’ includes our latest design implementation; a Hydro-V hull design that extends the V of the hull all the way to the transom. The Hydro-V improves the ride quality of the larger Protectors while at the same time giving the bigger boats a more agile and responsive feel similar to the rest of our fleet.
