Hello to all, and welcome to our first newsletter of 2025!
We are entering the second quarter of the year already, watching the 2024/2025 cruising season in New Zealand coming to an end and the 2025 cruising season starting in the Northern Hemisphere with tons of events and adventures ahead. Read on for updates on what we have been up to so far, and where we are going!
Heads up – if you are going to the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show this year, we will be there for the first time! There are some great tenders up for grabs (at discounted prices) on display, and boat show special is on for our Aussie deliveries! Unmissable!
Auckland Boat Show always kick starts our year. It was great! Caught up with many of our customers, met new ones and had our networking session of the year with the NZ Marine Industry.
We are beyond proud of welcoming this incredible waterman, lovely family and crew to our Offshore Cruising Tenders family. Meet John John Florence. He is taking a sabbatical from the World Surf Tour to cruise around with his family and good mates. When someone so in tune with the Ocean, reaches out to you, as a professional, to get your advise on the best gear to carry his own family on this adventure (and actually listens to it!), you kind of know you are on the right track. Wishing them all the best and inviting you all to check their journey. Click on the photo to meet the family!
We are getting John to test drive the canopy for a season in the South Pacific. Hoping this is a keeper to offer to our clients in the near future. Its promising so far… the first test was a drive at 100km/h on our trailer on the way to deliver it to John! Fingers crossed team!
Our mates at ZeroJet attended the International Multihull Show in La Grande Motte in France with one of our OC Tenders and Outremer Catamarans also had our tender on display!
We think its about time we show up in Europe… 2026 maybe?

f you are planning to go electric, want to plane with 2 people plus cargo AND have a reasonable range, ZeroJet has good news for you.
Although The Wynns have moved on from their project, they have tested and trialled extensively their OC Tender ZeroJet and posted a bunch of great info on their You Tube channel.
We recommend a view – then drop an email to the ZeroJet team https://www.zerojet.com/contact-us
WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR FIRST TIME EXHIBITING IN AUSTRALIA!
You can get a bargain at the show or you can get a NZD $500 credit on your order delivered anywhere in Australia in 2025.
Valid for orders placed by the 25th of May 2025
We had just so much fun and were so well received that the show organizers convinced us that we belong at both shows – to which they are absolute right. With just under 40% of our clients being powerboat owners, with many based in the USA – From Martha’s Vineyard to Florida, then from California to Alaska, we got some great powerboat representatives there
Thank you so much, again, to all of our amazing clients sharing the love and inspiring us all for these past months. Appreciate you allowing us to share your beautiful images and content. Also huge thanks to the clients being so incredibly generous with their time with all the curious inquiries and dock chats. We appreciate and we know you are all out there as we hear about it often. You are the best.❤️
