Kiwi Kraft Boats have hand-built aluminium pontoon boats in Invercargill, New Zealand since 1988, and today stand among the country's most trusted names in alloy boat manufacturing, some would say New Zealand's number one pontoon boat in design & construction. Founded by Rodney Harris, the company has never moved to mass production — every Kiwi Kraft boat that leaves the Invercargill factory is built by the same small, dedicated team of craftspeople who take pride in knowing their customers by name. The full Kiwi Kraft range of aluminium pontoon boats — 20 models across four families: Hardtop, Cuddy, Dinghy and Console. Whether you're after a trailerable aluminium dinghy for the weekend or a serious offshore aluminium hardtop fishing boat, there's a CPC certified Kiwi Kraft built for the way you want to spend your time on the water.

Twin Planing Strakes

Running the full length of the hull, our strakes provide superior lift, better planing and improved fuel economy.

Full Customisation

Colour, layout, and fittings tailored to how you fish, explore, or spend time on the water.
