New Zealand manufactures some great boats and yachts, but often the big name brands like Searay, Azimut, Beneteau and Bayliner are just too expensive in the local market. The answer is to import a boat into New Zealand from overseas, which is where Taurus Logistics can help.

Is it worth importing a boat to New Zealand?
In our experience the answer is yes, we’re frequently told how much money our customers saved by buying their yacht overseas and importing it into New Zealand.
I've found the boat, what now?
Once you've found a boat you’re interested in, get the dimensions especially the height. Anything on the boat that can be removed before shipping should be considered before you get a shipping price, if you remove the keel you can almost halve the shipping costs of most boats.
My boat has a cradle
If your boat is on a cradle it should be steel or ISMP15 timber. If it’s not, the cradle will be fumigated or destroyed at additional cost.
Is there anything I should be aware of?
Ensure your boat is clean and free of any organic contamination including bilge water, this will avoid unforeseen costs on arrival due to MAF requirements.
You may be GST/Duty exempt if your boat is a trailer craft and part of your emigration to New Zealand, give us a call for more details.
