As a lifelong boating enthusiast, I’ve had my fair share of experiences with different vessels. But I can say without hesitation that the aluminium boat we got from Circa Marine is in a class of its own. If you’re in the market for aluminium boats in New Zealand, look no further.
Aluminium is the ideal material for Kiwi waters—lightweight yet incredibly strong. But it takes real expertise to turn that raw material into a seaworthy masterpiece. Circa Marine has that expertise in spades. Their team combines years of hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology to produce aluminium boats that are built to endure.
When I approached Circa Marine with my idea for a custom offshore boat, they didn’t just take notes—they got excited. It felt like we were working on something together, and that energy carried through the entire process. They were quick to suggest practical enhancements I hadn’t considered—like underfloor storage, non-slip deck surfaces, and optimised trim tabs for rougher seas.
The performance of the finished boat blew me away. It handles beautifully and is incredibly quiet compared to other vessels I’ve used. Even better, it’s economical on fuel thanks to the lightweight build. The maintenance has been minimal too—another perk of going with aluminium.
Circa Marine’s aluminium boats are truly built for New Zealanders, by New Zealanders. They understand the local conditions, and they’ve perfected a craft that combines strength, safety, and sleek design. Every time we set out, I feel reassured knowing I’ve got one of the toughest, most well-built aluminium boats in the country.
