Williams Jet Tenders Classic 30

There are boats you own and then there are boats that define your arrival. IZANA sits firmly in the latter.

Crafted in England in 1999, this 30ft mahogany masterpiece was born from a simple but powerful idea - to revive the romance of the great European runabouts of the 1960s, while quietly integrating the engineering and performance expected of a modern vessel. The result is something rare: a boat that feels as special today as it would have half a century ago. She has always drawn attention. Her recognition as Motor Boat & Yachting's Most Beautiful Boat of the Year in 2001 only confirmed what's immediately obvious the moment you see her.

When IZANA arrived in New Zealand she underwent a comprehensive refit. This wasn't just cosmetic - it was a careful revival. Beneath the timberwork sit twin modern MerCruiser 6.2L V8 engines, delivering smooth, confident performance that perfectly complements her classic lines.

Now residing on Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown, IZANA feels completely at home. Calm lake mornings, glassy evening cruises, and effortless entertaining - this is where her design truly shines. The addition of a fitted canopy and electric windlass only enhances her practicality, without taking anything away from her timeless aesthetic.

This is not a production boat. It's not something you'll see twice. IZANA is a one-off - a piece of craftsmanship with a story, a presence, and a level of individuality that simply can't be replicated.

For those who appreciate design, heritage, and the experience of boating as something more than just transport, IZANA represents a rare and compelling opportunity.
