Building a brand-new boat is an intricate and exciting process. Whether you’re building a yacht for weekend getaways or sourcing a commercial vessel, it’s vital that you feel you can trust the team building your boat.
To that end, we’d like to throw our hat in the ring. We at Circa Marine are the country’s top aluminium boat builders and fabricators. In this blog post, we’re reviewing why to choose us as your boat-building team. Let’s dive in!
All great vessels begin with a top-notch design. If the design is off, then the final result will not meet expectations, which is why the Circa Marine team puts a lot of time and energy into ensuring everything is perfect in Phase One.
As one of the top aluminium boat builders on the globe, we’re proud to have built up a network of the world’s best designers who partner with us during this process. We present a united front, working with our customers to ensure we produce the right vessel for their needs.
This phase also includes contract negotiations, during which we prioritise transparency and clarity. Our build team will provide feedback on the final design before it’s pushed to the build floor. Once that is on firm ground, we will work with you to diligently negotiate key contractual elements such as budget, noise and vibration allowances, delay contingencies, and more.
Once everything is negotiated, you can sit back and rest easy, knowing that your vessel is coming together under the hands of our experienced aluminium boat builders. Your dedicated project management team will be constantly available to you throughout the process and will act in accordance with the terms negotiated in Phase One.
Essentially, it’s the project management team’s job to act as your advocate throughout the building process, ensuring that the vessel is produced in a timely manner that allows for your budget. They will also act as your liaison in the event of any issues that may arise.
Once the vessel is ready for the sea, we make sure to put it through its paces. As aluminium boat builders with decades of experience, we can easily test the full range of operating parameters for every vessel we build. This is a vital step of the process and one we take very seriously, as we want to hand off vessels to their new owners in tip-top shape.
For us, the relationship with our customers doesn’t end once they have the keys to their new boat in hand. We believe in closing the loop, ensuring that every single one of our customers is satisfied with the vessel they have received.
We’re here to build a long-standing relationship, which is why the Circa Marine team offers technical and maintenance support on a worldwide scale. No matter which coast you sail to, you can rest easy that we’re just a phone call away.
Now that you’ve seen what sets our process apart let’s explore what makes our team stand out as New Zealand’s premium aluminium boat builders.
At heart, we are specialist aluminium boat builders and fabricators. That means that we have decades of experience building everything from commercial ferry boats to luxury yachts. Just some of the vessels we’ve crafted over the years include:
Most importantly, we’re excited to innovate with you. Introduce us to a new idea, bring us an interesting concept, and rest assured that we’ll partner with you to produce a world-class vessel.
We’re proud to offer a complete design and build package for any vessel under our purview. Not only does this limit the number of touchpoints a customer must contend with, but it also means we have full visibility on every aspect of the build process.
A big part of this equation is our team of in-house aluminium fabricators, who are integral to our work and boast years of experience in their craft.
In other words, we can ensure that our vessels are built perfectly, down to the very last rivet.
Over our years in this industry, we’ve been privileged to work with a range of world-class boat designers to bring a variety of vessels to life. This means our new or returning customers can benefit from these relationships. When you work with us, you’re not just working with a team of local aluminium boat builders. You’re tapping into a painstakingly built network of incredible talent.
Aside from the years of experience our builders have crafting vessels, we also ensure that every single person who touches your vessel is New Zealand Marine Industry Training Organisation (NZMITO) qualified. The vessel itself will also meet rigorous regulations, which we test during the sea trials stage.
From stem to stern, the team at Circa Marine is equipped to produce the vessel that meets your specifications. With one of our vessels under your feet, you can set sail on any kind of sea-faring adventure with confidence.
