The Haines Hunter brand name has been part of NZ's boating scene since the early 70's. Originally manufactured under license by Fibre Glass Moulders, Haines Hunter has been a market leader since that time, with a design philosophy based on the "Deep V " rough water ability and strength of construction.

In 1980, Sea Craft Ltd. aquired the manufacturing rights to Haines Hunter and in 1985 purchased outright the business of Haines Hunter ( NZ ) Ltd. Sea Craft Ltd at that time was a well established boat manufacturer having been involved in production boatbuilding since 1946 and with a pedigree of boatbuilding going back five generations. This new dimension to Haines Hunter provided the company with a new energy to take the inherit design features of Haines Hunter to another level.

While retaining the fundamentals of the " DEEP V " design, Haines Hunter has been at the forefront with design features that provide style, comfort & practability. New material technologies are utilized to enhance the time proven quality " Hand Laid " laminating process.

Today Haines Hunter is one of New Zealands most respected boat brands, dedicated to providing safe family boating pleasure.
