What's a Bangka Boat

Bangka’s are usually paddle driven and mostly used by the locals for fishing within shallow waters.

Bangka boats have two wooden outriggers, made of bamboo, to support on rough and wild seas, which also add in stability. The outriggers are tightened well to support its body as well as its passengers.

Depending on the size, it can carry multiple numbers of people and can travel fast on calm waters as well as withstanding gushing waves.

Due to its outriggers a local banca boat has a lot of space. You will often found a big table, toilettes, a lot of seats, and even a barbeque or a simple kitchen on board.
