Owning a custom yacht is more than a purchase; it’s a journey. An exciting venture that gives you the opportunity to transform your vision into a reality. While there are many yachts available off the rack on the market, there’s something magical about a custom sailboat, and that’s where we come in.

Luxury boat construction is an art form. It’s about balancing form and function and producing the most beautiful interior possible while ensuring a seamless experience across the length of your project and your time on the water.

Circa Marine is a team of New Zealand yacht builders redefining what it means to be a part of this industry.

The experience of being on the water in New Zealand is incomparable, offering a refreshing connection to nature's beauty. Whether fishing, jet boating, or ferrying to islands, Kiwis cherish these moments. However, safety concerns are paramount, especially for commercial ferry operators responsible for passenger welfare. Circa Marine, with its expertise in ferry boat design and construction, prioritises safety, ensuring passengers can enjoy their journeys with confidence.

There is an art to achieving a streamlined and elegant design, especially when it comes to the interior of your luxury vessel. So, what better way to elevate your lifestyle at sea than with custom marine joinery that oozes comfort and utilises form and function to create a marriage of style and convenience? 

Circa Marine are proud to announce the recent launch of the new 17.5m “Waikare II“ Catamaran for the Northland Regional Council.
