boat building, marine engineering, stainless and aluminium fabrication


With a wealth of experience gained in the yachting industry over the years in Cape Town, South Africa, we have relocated to Auckland, New Zealand where we have established our base servicing the boating “mecca” of the world.

Our experience includes “Best Stainless Steel for the Show” at the Miami Boat Show on Island Spirit catamarans built by Fortuna Yachts in Cape Town. We also pride ourselves in having been involved in manufacturing and fitting all the stainless steel work to a host of St Francis 44 catamarans built by St Francis Marine and designed by the renowned naval architect, Angelo Lavranos.  We subsequently built four steel cruising yachts three of which were turnkey projects, all of which have successfully sailed to different parts of the world. 

Since our arrival in New Zealand we have taken these skills to the super yacht industry and worked on the likes of:

SY Shenandoah, SY Squall, SY Red Dragon, SY Drumbeat, SY Nirvana, SY Mysteré, SY Fantástica, MY Surprise, MY Aquila, SY Mystery, SY Mari Cha III, SY Endeavour (J4), MY Adagio, SY Adelé, MY Alani II, SY Globana M and MY Black Pearl, SY Vent ‘d Est, SY Janice of Wyoming, SY Tamzen, MY Espiritu Santo, SY Zenji, SY Song of the Sea, to name but a few.  We have been actively involved in either project management, running projects or working on these vessels answering to either owners, skippers, boat representatives, crew, primary contractors and sub-contractors.

We are also happy to have been working in conjunction with the America's Cup Race Management team. We have provided them with some aluminium and stainless components needed in preparation for the up coming America's Cup starting in August 2011.

We also work extensively on local vessels doing repairs and maintenance which covers all aspects of boating requirements. We are also happy to give advice and quote on any insurance related claims.
