Our skill range is suitable for vessels between 50' to 110', we have built a reputation for building steel boats that don't look like steel / alloy, what do I mean by that you may ask, our steel boats are so fair (well formed) that we need very little fairing compound to provide a high gloss paint finish. Our boats often get mistaken for FIBREGLASS this allows you to achieve your dream while maintaining the the ocean going strength of steel.

Part of our passion for boat building has come from my early days as a tradesman tool maker. In this art we are required to work to extremely exacting tolerances, we have carried this philosophy over to our boat building, you can see from these photos we have achieved some awesome results.

We love to see people fulfil their dreams and as committed yachties ourselves we understand the need for excellence and have worked to full Lloyds Survey in the past.
Our goal for the immediate future is to continue building to the highest standards, we seek to form relationships with like minded sailors who will settle for nothing but the best in marine Steel / Alloy construction methods.

As you can see by the pictures below we pride ourselves on the level of interior finishing we can achieve and have gained international recognition for this including being awarded the New Zealand Boat of the Year in the past.
