The first to pioneer positive buoyancy life-ring protection. Stabicraft boats are a triumph of kiwi ingenuity over the elements.

Quality From Start To Finish

Quality control starts with the purchase and inspection of raw materials, and continues through each stage of the manufacturing process. Each work-centre inspects the previous work-centre’s components before they are accepted, ensuring high quality and efficiency during a vessel’s manufacture.

We invest in both people and plant to ensure we retain our cutting edge. Stabicraft Marine welders are certified to international standards and are part of a robust training programme that has been utilised since the company’s inception in 1987.

Safety has always been at the forefront of Stabicraft Marine’s principles and we were one of the first New Zealand boat manufacturers to sign up for CPC certification as an independent verification of build standard. Stabicraft was also the first New Zealand manufacturer to sign up for the Australian Boat Builders Plate programme.

Production Process

Particular attention is given to each and every Stabicraft boat produced, with quality and pride of workmanship being an important aspect of the manufacturing process. A quality checking system is in place to check material and components at each stage of production, ensuring every Stabicraft product that enters the market place is not just superior in terms of quality but exceeds the standards of the boating industry.

Stabicraft boats are made to order. After an order has been confirmed, high quality marine grade aluminium sheets are precision-cut and pressed using high-tech, computerised equipment according to Stabicraft's exacting design specifications.

The hull, floor and tube frame are fabricated into a complete lower half of the craft using full boat-sized jigs ensuring complete accuracy throughout the manufacturing process. All components are precision welded by Stabicraft's highly qualified welders.

The superstructure (cabin) is fitted and pre-paint preparation is completed. The vessel is sprayed with high quality PPG paint with a wide variety of colours and finishes infamous throughout Stabicraft vessels. Modern and smart graphic packages are featured through the entire range, fitted with high quality components to ensure a hassle free and long-lasting quality relationship between owner and boat.
