Our Story
Raised at the coastal end of a South Island river, it was in some ways, inevitable that I would develop a passion for boats. Following a childhood filled with memorable water experiences from the river on our back door step, to the ocean sailings with my naval grandfather, I combined this passion with a design degree and a love of making things to transform King Watercraft into the business it is today with over 10 years experience and nearly 150 boats floating around New Zealand and beyond.
We are proud, as a small business to design and manufacture our RIBs in New Zealand. We pride ourselves on building unique, premium quality boats, with effortless style and comfort with incredible stability and exceptional handling.

Build it
Building your boat is just the beginning of a relationship. As a small business, we love that we are able to involve you every step of the way. As we move through the stages from booking your build slot, to getting on the water with you, we invite you to make selections and customisations to suit your desires.
