Our Vessel: The “Poppy Anne”
The 19’ 8” “Poppy Anne” is a Coastal Vokey Centre Console fishing runabout. She is rigged with a 90hp Yamaha VMAX, Garmin Fishfinder, and marine head. Designed and built in Newfoundland, The Coastal Vokey 198 center console is made for pursuing gamefish in the North Atlantic. Her foam-filled fibreglass hull is safe and cuts through the swell with ease. Reel Salty Sportfishing has outfitted her with PLB (personal locator beacon), VHF radio, auto inflating life jackets, first aid kit, and all necessary equipment mandated by the Canadian Coast Guard and Transport Canada. The “Poppy Anne” has an onboard cooler for your bagged lunch and supplied cold drinks, and a bluetooth speaker with an endless supply of country music.
