Our philosophy is quite simple
We just love to build, restore and sail wooden boats with their beauty, unique feel and their irresistible attraction.
We love what we do
We admit unashamedly that we don't like fibreglass and that we relish the challenge of putting wooden boats together everyday.
We specialise in restoration
Restoring wooden boats is fun, it keeps your mind occupied, and the fact that you are creating a one-off experience is hard to beat.
We live up to your expectations
True craftsmanship and eye for detail combined with experience gained over the years shines through at Classic Boats Ltd
The 'Gem Class' is a breath of fresh air
The inspiration for the 'Gem Class' came from the numerous gaff-rigged daysailers designed and built at the turn of last century.
Welcome to Classic Boats New ZealandBuilders of High Quality Wooden Boats
