Building New Zealand's toughest Aluminium boats, inspired by tradition, innovation and a wealth of experience.

Things are getting serious at the back of our Explorer 45.

Three Mercury V10 425s. 1,275 horsepower.

Another big milestone ticked off as this build takes shape.

Built in New Zealand. Bound for the USA. 🇳🇿🇺🇸

Progress on the Herley 45.
Another milestone in the build as she starts to really take shape.

Great to see our Elite 8 featured in this month’s Pacific PowerBoat Magazine.

The team spent some time aboard, put her through her paces and captured this video along the way.

Always good to see an independent perspective on a boat we’re incredibly proud to build here in New Zealand.

Thanks to the team Pacific Powerboat for the feature.

Back from paint and heading home.

Our Explorer 45 making her way back up the driveway, ready for the next stage of the build.

Hand built here in New Zealand, and eventually heading for her new home in the Pacific Northwest.

The sheep seem largely unimpressed.

And just like that we are rolling over our next 11m hull. She’s a new style again on a proven hull, we will keep you updated as she progresses.

One of the best parts of building boats is seeing where they end up.

Our 3400 catamaran Wirraji at work with Ocean Eco Adventures on Western Australia's Ningaloo Reef.

Designed and built in New Zealand, she's now spending her days carrying guests through one of the world's most remarkable marine environments.

A great look at the boat, the operation, and what she was ultimately built for.

Taking shape behind the scenes.

The forward cabin and bathroom cabinetry for our Explorer 45 coming together in our cabinetry shop. Built in-house, piece by piece, before being fitted aboard.

It’s the work behind the finished product that makes the difference.

From bare aluminium to something special.
Our Explorer 45 leaves the workshop and heads to paint.

It’s always exciting seeing a project reach this stage.

Our Explorer 45 heads to the paint shop after months of fabrication.

When she returns, we’ll begin the final fit-out—installing the propulsion package, electrical systems, interior, glazing, electronics and all the details that bring the design to life.

Stay with us as we share the next chapter of the build.

Amazing video put together from ocean eco tours of Australia’s first ocean going electric charter boat. Our 3400 electric catamaran.
Epic work team.
