Makaira boats are designed and built in our purpose built factory in Northland . On-water performance is our core focus, and high quality craftsmanship and finish is what we deliver.

Aluminum Flared Hull

We believe our flared hulls are a world first for an alminium plate trailer boat. The flared hull performs as good as it looks, offering a softer ride and more lift when cutting through a sea. The flare pushes water away from the boat resulting is a softer, dryer ride.

8mm 5083 Non Developable Warped Aluminium hulls

Our hulls use 8mm 5083 marine grade plates, with full depth Intercostal Frames and Girders. Captive buoyancy is created amongst the structural grid by fully welding all seams. Our Non developable warped hulls have a variable dead rise which produces a soft riding and stable vessel.

Lloyds structural standards

Our hull plate thickness, frame, girder and stringer spacing is designed to meet Lloyds Register Special Service Craft (SSC) requirements.

Built entirely in-house

All aspects of a boat build are completed in house from cutting plate on our own CNC Router right through to paint, upholstery and complete fit-out of the boat. We are able to control quality at all levels of a build and we don*t leave anything to chance.

High End Interior

All of our boats have the interior finished to a standard that is comparable to a super yacht. From the lined cabin, to vinyl dash and roof lining, every area is set up for maximum comfort.

Designed by Naval Architects

Our hulls are designed by Qualified Naval Architects. Comprehensive weight and balance studies are performed, static and running trim are analysed, and structural loads (including slamming pressures) are evaluated to ensure our boats outperforms and outlasts our competition.

Prioritising on-water performance

Our aim is to set the standard in offshore performance. Constantly refining our boat's we believe you will not find another boat that has better seakeeping ability.

Quality materials

We have an uncompromised approach to using the best materials that are available from start to finish. We only use European mill sourced 5083 H116 plate that meets B.V, D.N.V or Lloyds certification.

limited lifetime warranty

Here at Makaira Boats we stand behind our Hulls. We offer a limited lifetime warranty for all our hulls.The warranty is transferable up to 10 years, and is valid for the life of the hull - 25 years.

Custom Curved Windscreen

All of our boats have a 6mm toughened urethane bonded custom curved front windscreen as well as sliding side windows.

Inside the Makaira Factory

Our build process

We work with you to create the boat of your dreams.

Step 1: Design

Once you have finalised your spec, we will send you 3D plans of your boat, once it is approved we can move to the build. We make every effort to finalise the spec of the build to eliminate variations as much as possible.

Step 2: Build

All aspects of a boat build are completed in house from cutting plate on our own CNC Router right through to paint, upholstery and complete fit-out. You Are welcome to view your boat throughout the build and get a first hand appreciation for the amount of work that has gone into your boat as well as meet the team that builds them in scheduled build visits.

Step 3: Delivery

After you receive your Makaira we do an extensive hand over spending a day on the water with you training you how to use your boat and its features, if required can help with handling lessons. After the build we maintain contact to ensure you know the ins and outs of your new machine and are there to answer any questions you may have.

Complete customer satisfaction is our goal. We always deliver.
