Don’t let its size fool you—the Northbank 500C may be the smallest in the Northbank fleet, but it carries the same reputation for a soft, dry ride and rock-solid stability that defines every Northbank. Measuring 5.25 metres overall, the 500C strikes the perfect balance between family-friendly fun and serious fishing capability.
From relaxing days on the water to chasing your favourite species, the 500C is ready for anything—and it looks good doing it. Thoughtfully designed from bow to stern, it features a walk-through bow and three-piece windscreen that easily converts from a sheltered cuddy cabin to open access when needed. It’s versatile, comfortable, and perfect for all conditions.
At the stern, a boarding platform and foldaway rear seating make it easy to transition from fishing to swimming and relaxing. The cockpit is laid out with the fisherman in mind—twin bait tanks, stainless steel rod holders, and a full-sized bait board keep everything within arm’s reach.
Powered by up to 115hp, the 500C delivers performance that punches well above its weight. Whether you’re cruising the coastline or powering through choppy conditions, this boat handles with confidence, comfort, and unmistakable Northbank style.
