The 2021 Sealegs 8.5m Alloy represents the pinnacle of amphibious marine technology from one of New Zealand's most innovative boat builders. Sealegs International has redefined watercraft versatility with its patented hydraulic drive wheel system, allowing this impressive vessel to launch and retrieve from virtually any beach or ramp without a trailer — a genuine game-changer for coastal adventurers. At 8.5 metres with a 2.3-metre beam, this alloy-hulled amphibious RIB offers serious offshore capability combined with the unique ability to drive directly onto shore under its own power.
The robust alloy construction ensures durability and longevity in demanding marine environments, while the 1-cabin layout provides comfortable accommodation for overnight trips or extended coastal cruising. Based in Whitianga — gateway to the stunning Coromandel Peninsula — this Sealegs is perfectly positioned for exploring pristine beaches, secluded coves and island destinations that remain inaccessible to conventional vessels. Whether you're accessing remote fishing spots, entertaining guests on a private beach, or simply cruising the Hauraki Gulf, this Sealegs 8.5m delivers an experience no conventional RIB can match.
Offered at NZD $299,000, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a near-new example of New Zealand's most iconic and capable amphibious craft.
