Welcome to Pātea Boats Ltd

Here at Pātea Boats Ltd, we specialise in crafting high-quality, adventure boats, custom offshore vessels, and precision-built marine craft designed for comfort, safety, and exceptional on-water capability. Whether you're heading offshore, exploring coastal waters, or enjoying a day with family on the lake, our boats are engineered to deliver reliability and confidence in any conditions.

Precision Boatbuilding, Engineered in New Zealand

We build every vessel with a meticulous focus on detail. From the accredited naval architectural hull design through to the cabin layout, we combine practical boating experience with modern marine construction techniques to ensure superior durability, usability, and performance.

Our interiors reflect a balance of functionality and refinement. Features include:

Ergonomic helm stations equipped with premium industry leading marine electronics
High end finished, spacious cabin layouts suitable for day trips or overnight stays with multiple berth and toilet / shower options available
Marine-grade upholstery and finishes built to withstand harsh marine environments
Bi-fold glass wheelhouse doors for adaptable, open-plan all-weather boating

Advanced Marine Technology for Smarter, Safer Adventures

We integrate trusted marine electronics and navigation systems throughout our builds, including high-clarity multifunction displays, advanced sonar and night vision, and intuitive skipper-friendly control systems. Every helm is designed to provide skippers and crew with complete control and confidence, whether navigating the open ocean, lakes or tight marina spaces.

Built for Real-World Boating

Our boats are created for people who demand performance—not just in calm weather, but in real-world conditions.

Performance advantages

Smooth, predictable, responsive handling
Low centre of gravity for offshore stability
Fuel-Efficient cruising

With deep-vee performance hulls and rigid construction, our boats perform where it counts – in real conditions on real water.
