Our History


Our Mission

We don’t build the most boats on the market, but the ones we do make are built to a very high standard with superior quality, performance and handling. Our boats are made to stand the test of time and will become a part of your family for years to come.

 

Huntsman Boats was founded by Geoff and Toni Robinson in 1992 and has been proudly New Zealand made ever since. Huntsman initially produced the legendary Stingray Ski boats and offered specialised fibreglass repairs, then moved to a range of early boats including the 525 Executive, 525 Sport and La Plata. These boats proved to be extremely popular and Huntsman soon moved to full time production of fibreglass powerboats.

The 525 Executive and Sport models paved the way for other hull designs we have developed over the years. The range has now progressed to a full suite of boats , ranging in size from 5 to 7.5 metres in length and catering to a wide range of boating enthusiasts. Our boats continue to exceed expectations with their superior handling, exceptional performance and outstanding design detail.

In addition to our boats, Huntsman Commercial was created in 2012 to produce a wide range of quality commercial fibreglass products. Huntsman Commercial caters to a wide range of fibreglassing needs including automotive parts, architectural designed parts for the building and signage industries, and equestrian and farming products.

Mike Bamber - Owner/Operator


“I wanted to build boats for as long as I can remember, and have now done so for over 20 years. I am extremely proud to be at the helm of Huntsman Boats, helping to further refine the renowned performance and style of our boats. We have such a strong and loyal customer base that I can’t wait to continue to expand and bring more boats to be a part of Kiwi family lives. ”
