Experience the comfort, safety, and reliability of a Kingfisher Powercat for your next commercial vessel. As a trusted NZ commercial boat builder, we are experienced in designing and constructing custom commercial vessels that are durable, efficient, and built to perform. Whether you’re running tourism charters, conducting marine surveys, transporting passengers, or managing a marine work site, our aluminium catamaran workboats are ready to deliver.
Powercats are an exceptional platform for commercial operations. Their twin-hull design delivers superior stability both at rest and underway, creating a safer, more comfortable ride for passengers and crew. The wide beam provides generous deck space and better load distribution, while the catamaran hull shape offers excellent lifting capacity and a shallower draft—ideal for working in coastal, harbour, or shallow water environments. These features make Powercats a smart choice for passenger boats and utility vessels alike.
Our range of survey-built boats includes 11-12m Powercat ferries, powered by outboards and capable of seating up to 40 passengers. One of our flagship builds is the 1200 Powercat, designed by Roger Hill and constructed for Mercury Bay Discoveries as a sightseeing passenger boat. With its spacious design, smooth ride, and comfortable seating, it’s purpose-built for commercial marine tourism.
For smaller-scale operations, our 620 and 670 Powercats offer the same stability and versatility in a compact footprint. These models can be configured as workboats or small passenger boats, with seating for up to 8 people, wide gunnels, and layouts tailored to meet Maritime NZ survey requirements.
Every Kingfisher commercial vessel is designed with safety, performance, and compliance in mind. We’re experienced in building boats to meet Maritime New Zealand survey standards and have successfully delivered a wide range of survey-ready boats for commercial use across the country.
If you’re looking for a reliable, survey-capable aluminium catamaran workboat or passenger vessel, get in touch with our team today. We’ll help you customise a boat that meets your operational needs—and exceeds expectations.
