✨ Classic Beauty – Mataroa ✨
Mataroa was in our Whitford shed only a few months ago for a full refit - and what a privilege it was to work on her.

Here’s an original shot of her along with a little piece of her history. She truly is a beautiful boat and a wonderful example of a classic wooden launch done right.

If your wooden launch is ready for some love - whether it’s a full refit or some careful restoration work - we can help. Send us a message or get in touch to chat about your project.

Another solid upgrade completed by the team.
The project involved removing the old existing tank, grind out and re-flow coating the bilge area, relocating the bilge pump, float switch and bait tank pump and re-piping the tank with all new hoses.
The result? A cleaner, safer and much more reliable setup and leaves everything looking tidy and ready for action.

A fresh paint job can make all the difference 👌
This Starling is shining after some expert work in our shed.
No job too big or too small.

She’s Nearly a Century Old… And Yet She Still Turns Heads.

Meet Mataroa — a 1928 wooden launch designed by the legendary Joe Slattery. Built for elegance, speed, and timeless style, she’s survived almost 100 years of life on New Zealand’s waterways.

You won’t believe the transformation — and the history behind this incredible classic launch. Click below.

She ruled the waves - then vanished.

A classic never truly fades – it just waits for the right hands to bring it back. Say hello to Crescendo, our beautifully restored One Tonner.

Our new cradle has been hard at work! Two stunning vessels have already come through the shed and left looking shipshape after their time with Burnnand Marine. We’re looking forward to helping more of our customers get their boats looking their best.

Guess what’s rolled into the boat shed?
A brand-new cradle! 🚤⚓ No more wrestling with the old setup – this beauty makes hauling out a breeze. Boats are happier, we’re happier…
Now who’s going to be the first to sail into our boatshed for some proper boatbuilding and some celebratory snacks? 😎🍻
