Notes: These boats are built on proven power catamaran type hulls (rather than the rounded tubular type) for much improved efficencies in construction, strength, and movement through the water. The pontoons can be completely sealed or left open for access to extra internal space.

We can quote for any variation of the three options listed as specials - just give us a call. 

We have been building pontoon houseboats for more than eight years now and have more on the water in New Zealand than any other manufacturer. Our refined construction methods and designs give us a leading edge in the houseboats and function boats market.

The Leisurecat series of houseboats is a development on the original pontoon craft and are designed for slightly more speed and better handling in the type of sea conditions more often encountered in sheltered inshore waters. They are basically a power catamaran hull without the  built in chines.
They are very cost effective when compared with tubular pontoon hulls. Contact us for a costing plan.

These Lazydays series pontoon houseboats became a very popular sight around the Tauranga and Waitamata harbours. Roomy and comfortable they were designed for enclosed sheltered waters, even though some operators ventured beyond.

This particular 11metre pontoon boat is about to start operating on the Waikato River from Hamilton. It is currently surveyed for up to 40 passengers and is equipped with a galley, toilet, and cockpit barbeque to give clients an unforgettable river cruise.

At 15 metres, this design can cater for up to 40 passengers on enclosed waters cruises. All Kingfisher pontoon boats can be customised to a clients own specs and can be built any length up to 17 metres.

An upmarket interior gives guests an unforgettable experience when cruising the Karapiro area of the Waikato River.

These two new 11m designs represent a very cost effective way of building houseboats. Rather than pontoons as we know them, they have more of a catamaran type hull which gives much better performances when a little more speed is desired.
