Hull Technology
Engineering You Can Feel on the Water
Every design decision Kiwi Kraft makes starts with one question: will this make the boat perform better in real New Zealand conditions? The result is a hull system that's been refined over 35 years of on-water testing.
Proprietary Technology
HUSH Technology —
The Secret to Kiwi Kraft's Superior Performance
HUSH Technology is what sets Kiwi Kraft apart. It represents a series of innovative design features that lifts Kiwi Kraft aluminium boat technology up to — and in many cases surpasses — equivalent fibreglass and aluminium boat design.
Hi-Performance
Brilliant straight-line speed, unsurpassed manoeuvrability, supreme stability, ultra-fast cornering and faster, flatter planing in any conditions — in short, incomparable hi-performance.
Ultra-Smooth Ride
We don't just talk about this important aspect — we make it happen. No more choppy rides or spray-soaked trips. Just a controlled, no-nonsense performance that allows you to enjoy your Kiwi Kraft boat more often, thanks to the ultra-smooth ride.
Superior Hull
This is where Kiwi Kraft rises to the top amongst our peers. Our hulls are stronger and more rigid due to Kiwi Kraft's roll forming technology. Our unique hull design features incorporating variable deadrise are what make possible our famous, ultra-smooth ride.
Hull Design
Add our industry-leading series of cushioning pontoons and you have quite possibly the best performing, smoothest riding and safest aluminium boat in the world. Our round pontoon design traps air, cushioning the ride like a gull wing.

Variable Deadrise Hull
The secret to Kiwi Kraft's outstanding on-water performance is the unique variable deadrise hull design. A long bow and fine entry characteristics deliver the soft, dry ride that Kiwi Kraft boats are renowned for — whether you're crossing a harbour bar or running offshore in a chop.
Our unique hull design features incorporating variable deadrise are what make possible our famous, ultra-smooth ride. Add to that our industry-leading series of cushioning pontoons and you have quite possibly the best performing, smoothest riding and safest aluminium boat in the world.
Twin Planing Strakes
Twin planing strakes run the full length of the hull, giving superior lift and leading to better planing and improved fuel consumption. The strakes also give Kiwi Kraft boats better grip and stability on the turns and in following seas.
Positive Buoyancy
All Kiwi Kraft boats are positive buoyancy boats, making them virtually unsinkable even when completely full of water and with a full contingent of passengers.
Marine Grade Aluminium
We use only marine-grade aluminium throughout our builds — selected for its strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance and long-term durability in salt water environments.
Custom Configuration
Regardless of which model you purchase, you receive cutting-edge design, first-class workmanship and attention to detail. Colour, layout and fittings can be configured to suit exactly how you use your boat.
