They say there are no secrets to success, there is just preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

Keeping their desire to get the simple elements right helped to create some of the great brands of today. Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati all spring to mind. Simple engineering created success. Jonathan Barlow of OffShore boats has started the design of his plate boat range with the same single focus – ride.

In the boating world, we all know the Achilles heel of the Aluminum and Plate boat market. Simply, the weight and displacement of the boats are not enough to stop the boat bouncing. It’s uncomfortable and the ride and performance in open conditions are not good as some of their fiberglass counterparts.

Stepping up the weight of their boats using 8mm aluminum plate has provided the extra performance and set their boat designs and ride apart.

Combine this with clean lines and simple design elements and an amazing custom trailer and you have one of the strongest offshore boat packages on the market.

After amazing customer feedback and reviews from the New Zealand boating market, the team at OffShore Boats has now decided to take on the Australian market. We all know just how well New Zealand boats have done in Australia – Extreme and McLay boats to name a few.

Phillip Island Marine has now become the sole agent for the sale and distribution of the OffShore boat range in Australia. It will be exciting to see the uptake of the new range in Australia.
