Pedigree of Stabicraft
At the southernmost corner of New Zealand lies Foveaux Strait, a notoriously stormy stretch of water that separates Stewart Island from the southern mainland. The men who fish there naturally treat these waters with great respect.
It was in 1986 that two local Foveaux Strait fishermen approached the fledgling Stabicraft Marine with a brief to design and build a small, rugged, unsinkable pontoon style boat. The key criteria was, it would have to allow them to fish these waters in almost any condition and always bring them and their catch safely back to their mother boat. This began the evolution of a brand that was to set world-class standards in aluminium rigid buoyancy boat design and construction. Even today Stabicraft Marine's standards are without equal of performance and safety. Precision build and thorough testing ensures Stabicraft's superiority.
Right from the beginning Stabicraft Marine instituted a program of research, development, thorough hull testing, and meticulous attention to detail. As a consequence, you can be sure that every Stabicraft to leave the factory is built to the highest possible standards of engineering precision. The hull design has been thoroughly tested beyond what you are ever likely to ask of it and the build quality is still there even in the places you'll never see.
With a dealer network across all major cities in Australia, take a good hard look at a Stabicraft and you'll see what we mean. Better still, take one for a test run in rough water. You won't want to give it back, because you'll quickly realise that at last you can enjoy adventure with confidence.
New Zealand’s Stabicraft Marine has delivered 9 custom 659 Wheel House vessels to Alaska where they will be used as observation boats to monitor the gill net fishery and the fishery’s interaction with sea mammals and sea birds.
Stabicraft has appointed Northside Marine in Brisbane as its sole southeast Queensland dealer for its range of aluminium positive buoyancy boats
The Invercargill built Stabicraft 2150 Supercab beat a raft of competition to be crowned Australia’s Greatest Alloy Boat 2011.
Stabicraft Marine is unveiling its 2570 Supercab range in time for the southern hemisphere boat show season.
The Stabicraft 609HT comes at a price. But for a no-nonsense, tough-as-nails fishing boat that rides like a dream and loves a bit of rough water, you get what you pay for.
Walking up to a Stabicraft there's no avoiding that initial visual step back most seem to take. Yet on closer inspection I find my first reaction fades into acceptance. It will never win a beauty pageant but we should still appreciate a Stabicraft's safety and handling abilities
Like all Stabicrafts, safety is a key feature. The 1750 Frontier features continuous tubes of individually sealed flotation chambers providing a ‘Life Ring’ of 1515 litres of buoyancy
Stabicraft Marine pioneered positive buoyancy™ boats, turning out the first rigid hulled aluminium pontoon boat from a back street workshop in Invercargill, New Zealand, in 1987.
