Introducing H2Ocean © King Watercraft

It is no secret that the past couple of years have been tough in business. As I'm sure many of you know, and are probably experiencing yourself in your own businesses and careers, the economy has put huge strain on discretionary spending and boats are no exception.

It is in the hard times, that we have to dig deep on finding our purpose, and for King Watercraft, we are incredibly proud to be able to say that what has been keeping us busy, is for the greater good of our industry and sustainable future.

Introducing our world leading hydrogen project

Years in the making, we have been proudly focusing on bringing sustainable propulsion to the marine industry alongside developing our range of luxury and classic RIBs for New Zealand and beyond.

In collaboration with Fabrum, a New Zealand company leading the world in zero-emission transition technologies, we have developed, designed and built a zero-emission hydrogen-powered chase boat.

You asked, we deliver

While we have always prided ourselves on our customer service and after purchase care, we are receiving increasing requests from our loyal customers and beyond for more extensive advice and consulting around technical support, valuations, boat brokerage and project development.

I am thrilled to announce the launch of our three dedicated service packages to enable you to access this knowledge and resource base so you can get the very best information and advice, tailored to your needs. We all know the saying 'work smarter, not harder' and I am excited to help you get maximum value out of your boating and recreational lifestyle. Find out more...

Launching...K6000

Alongside the H2Ocean project, we have also been working on the design of our new K6000 Luxury RIB model. We are adding to the fleet, and this 'entertainer' is the next evolution of our popular K5000. With more space and seating, this RIB goes well beyond transport and water sports. Its ample space and modular configurations make it a social staple and an on-water entertaining dream. We are excited to have the first boat in production. Check our the progress below...

From the camera roll...

The King family finally got to experience a summer holiday with a King Watercraft K5000 in Wanaka. So much family fun from watersports and relaxing on the boat listening to music in the sun!

Great to see some of our KWC customers using their Classic RIBS over summer too.
