Surtees Boats has always prided itself on building fishing machines that deliver serious adventures. Now the Whakatāne boatbuilder has raised the stakes with a promotion that gives new buyers a chance to win the fishing trip of a lifetime.
From 1 August through to 30 November 2025, anyone purchasing a brand-new Surtees in New Zealand or Australia — whether directly from HQ or through one of the company’s dealers — will go into the draw for a VIP prize package that combines serious fishing with classic Kiwi adventure.
Many owners and would-be owners have long dreamed of visiting the Surtees factory to see where the magic happens. This promotion offers that and more. The prize includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the workshop, plus a fully hosted fishing and adventure itinerary that celebrates New Zealand at its best.
The lucky winner won’t just get a quick tour and a handshake. Instead, they’ll enjoy:
- A day on Holy Ship with Scott & Mig from Fishing & Adventure, bringing all the action and personality viewers know from television.
- A game-fishing mission on Heavy Metal with renowned angler Ben Brown, chasing billfish and big pelagics off the rugged west coast.
- Adventure time in Rotorua and Taupo, with activities that showcase the heart of the North Island.
- All logistics covered, including flights, accommodation, and a rental car.
It’s a package designed to deliver the full Surtees lifestyle — fishing hard, exploring new waters, and enjoying the camaraderie that comes with the territory.
