Smuggler Marine

Smuggler Marine builds high-performance rigid inflatable boats (RIBs), powerboats, and tenders from its production facility in New Zealand. Founded with a focus on deep-V hull efficiency and rough-water capability, the builder subjects every vessel model to rigorous open-ocean testing along New Zealand’s rugged coastlines.

The company’s catalog covers specialized configurations ranging from high-speed recreational runabouts and fishing boats to heavy-duty commercial work units and superyacht tenders extending up to 10 metres LOA. Each model incorporates multi-compartment inflatable collars paired with robust fiberglass composite hulls, delivering stability, high load capacities, and responsive handling in challenging sea states.

Customization remains a core operational focus, allowing private owners and commercial clients to tailor deck layouts, console configurations, seating arrangements, and propulsion packages to specific functional needs. Commercial configurations meet the strict demands of tourism operators, law enforcement, and rescue agencies, providing reliable utility platforms capable of continuous daily operation.

Every completed hull undergoes thorough sea trials prior to delivery, verifying performance metrics under demanding conditions. Through an established dealer network and direct factory coordination, Smuggler Marine supplies durable, high-utility boats to international recreational boaters and professional operators worldwide.
