We know your boat is your pride and joy. Helping you realise the boat of your dreams is our top priority.

Boat Insurance Work

We are specialists in insurance repairs

Accidents happen, but having a damaged boat is never ideal.  Scratches, dents, holes, cracks; we know how important your boat is to you, so we make it our priority to have your boat back in as new condition in no time.

As a recognised member of the Marine Industry Association New Zealand, we can also point you in the direction of a trusted marine insurance broker to make sure you’re covered and act on your behalf to ensure your repair work is covered.
