Christchurch’s Huntsman Boats is heading back across the Tasman through a new partnership with Australian distributor 7Seas Marine.
Huntsman announced the appointment, saying the partnership would bring its New Zealand built range to customers throughout Australia. Brisbane based 7Seas Marine Sales has already added Huntsman to its website with eight Huntsman models, from the 5 metre La Plata to the 7.5 metre Xcalibur. The boats are advertised as 2027 models, available to order with delivery across Australia.
The announcement adds an Australian sales channel for a familiar Canterbury boatbuilding name. Huntsman began in 1992 and operates from Bromley, Christchurch. Boating New Zealand’s recent visit highlighted the company’s broader work under owners Mike and Courtney Bamber, including boat restoration and renovation.
