Stabicraft
Stabicraft is a renowned manufacturer of rigid hulled aluminium boats, founded in 1987 in Invercargill, New Zealand by Paul Adams and Bruce Dickens. The company pioneered the world's first aluminium positive buoyancy chambered boat, known for its unique Life Ring Protection made from individually sealed air and water-tight aluminium chambers wrapped around the hull. This innovation ensures that the boat remains afloat even when filled with water, providing exceptional safety.
The boats are designed with inspiration from the harsh and challenging 'Roaring Forties' seas off New Zealand's southern coast, which has driven Stabicraft to develop highly durable and capable vessels. The company embodies a philosophy of constant innovation, embracing a user-centric design approach and a commitment to practical function and safety. Stabicraft boats are known for their legendary toughness, stability, and superior offshore performance. They feature multiple generations of chambered hull designs that deliver improved performance and usability, making them leaders in their class.
Stabicraft boats are engineered to be versatile for varying boating activities, combining the capability to fish, cruise, and enjoy family adventures in one vessel. Their dedication to quality is reflected in their use of high-grade marine aluminium and rigorous production standards, contributing to their reputation as the 'ultimate 4x4 of the ocean.'
Over the decades, Stabicraft has expanded its operations globally with a wide dealership network, including a manufacturing site in Port Angeles, Washington State, USA. The company continues to release industry-leading models, emphasizing safety, stability, and durable design to provide confidence to boaters worldwide.
