Smuggler Marine has unveiled details of an all-new model to expand their already comprehensive range of amphibious boats – the highly anticipated Smuggler Stealth 800.
In conjunction with Smuggler Marine, the all-new model and hull has been designed by internationally renowned marine designer Brett Bakewell-White, bringing together cutting-edge hydrodynamics, exceptional ride quality, and modern styling in a package purpose-built for New Zealand conditions.
Importantly, the Stealth 800 Amphibious incorporates all the proven performance attributes that have made Smuggler’s amphibious RIB range hugely popular with New Zealand boaters. Known for their soft ride, dry handling, offshore capability, and rugged reliability, Smuggler amphibious boats have built a strong reputation among recreational users, fishers, and coastal adventurers alike.
The Stealth 800 Amphibious features a fully integrated amphibious wheel system from Anura that allows users to launch, retrieve, and manoeuvre independently without the need for trailers or boat ramps. Whether accessing remote beaches, exploring shallow coastlines, or simplifying family boating adventures, the Stealth 800 is engineered to provide ultimate convenience without compromising offshore capability.
Powering the Stealth 800 Amphibious will be a range of high-performance outboard options from 300hp through to 350hp, delivering exceptional acceleration, offshore capability, and cruising efficiency. Combined with Brett Bakewell-White’s advanced hull design, the package will offer outstanding performance, stability, and handling in demanding sea conditions.
“Smuggler has always been focused on innovation, performance, and building boats that suit the unique demands of New Zealand conditions,” says Smuggler Marine Managing Director, David Pringle.
“The Stealth 800 Amphibious is the next evolution of that philosophy — combining Brett Bakewell-White’s exceptional hull design expertise with the practicality and freedom of amphibious technology.”
