Buying a boat?
Considering your boating goals?
Let’s get started..

To determine which boat best suits your purposes, consider your boating goals. Here are some good questions to consider, helping you choose a boat that’s fit for purpose:
How much time do you have available?
Before buying a boat, determine how much time you have to spend on your boat. How long do you typically want to be away from the water? Do you just want to go on weekend escapes every now and again? Or maybe longer trips, enjoying a couple of weeks’ holiday? If you’re away for a longer time, best to consider a boat with greater comfort and capacity.

Why Kiwi Boaties Choose Semco!

Semco is a premium teak sealer trusted by boat owners worldwide and it’s perfectly suited to New Zealand’s harsh marine conditions. Designed to protect teak from UV, salt air, and moisture, Semco delivers season long protection with just two easy coats.
Unlike oils that blacken or varnishes that peel, Semco enhances the natural beauty of teak while remaining water repellent and non-slip, ideal for decks and high traffic areas. It’s simple to maintain, making it a smart, practical choice for boaties who want their teak to look great without constant upkeep.

You don’t need to cross oceans to find unforgettable cruising.
I’ve explored the Med, the Caribbean, and the Pacific Islands but some of the best boating in the world is right here at home.
For the North Island, The Hauraki Gulf and the Bay of Islands deliver it all: crystal‑clear anchorages, sheltered passages, great fishing, and scenery that never gets old. After 30 years in the marine industry, I can honestly say many of the boats we sell, fully ocean‑capable - have never left these waters. There’s simply so much to explore right on our doorstep.
Your next great adventure might be closer than you think.

Hylas Yachts are built on evolution. From the beginning, each owner has shaped their yacht with personal ideas - creating a culture where every new build sparks curiosity about what might come next.
One yacht raised that standard entirely. SV Meraki, launched in 2023, featured a striking interior and exterior vision created in collaboration with Italian superyacht design studio Hot Lab. Built true to the original renderings, Meraki pushed boundaries and inspired new ways of thinking.
While not every yacht needs that level of customisation, ideas, like fashion have a way of influencing what comes next.

Thinking about your own Hylas? Let us help turn inspiration into reality.

The notion that 'European boats aren’t built for New Zealand conditions' is outdated but the comment sometimes appears around boat show time via the opposition. The comment doesn’t reflect the reality of modern boatbuilding. European manufacturers design vessels to meet some of the world’s toughest maritime standards, including CE Category A and B certifications, which often exceed local requirements. These boats are engineered for a wide range of challenging sea states — from the rough, steep waves of the Mediterranean Meltemi to the unpredictable swells of the Bay of Biscay.
In fact, many European boats excel in areas critical to New Zealand conditions, such as efficient hull design for long-range cruising, superior seakeeping across a range of speeds, and ergonomic interiors that prioritise comfort and safety.
