Custom designed vessels

Our vessels can also be supplied as flat pack kitsets.

Designers of the best vessel for your needs

Our hulls have all been extensively tested; both tank testing and time on the water have contributed to the development of efficient, easily-handled hulls and fit-for-purpose vessels. Many of these hull-forms are used by New Zealand’s leading production aluminium boat builders and are considered to be among the best in the business.
