A new report shows superyacht visitors injected $212m into the New Zealand economy in the 2023/4 season, and has been released as New Zealand ramps up its superyacht attraction initiatives.

The Autumn 2024 issue of the NZ Marine News magazine is out now, with Emirates Team New Zealand’s Taihoro featured on the cover.

The ride has just gotten even better with the release of the new Haines Hunter Overlander Pursuit 725, Haines Hunter’s first amphibious craft. The release of the Overlander configuration expands Haines Hunter’s flagship 725 range, and sees the new model combining Haines Hunter’s award winning 21° deep V hull, and the New Zealand designed and manufactured Anura amphibious system – the Overlander is the ultimate adventure machine.

With its diverse marine environments, from protected harbours to rugged ocean waters, New Zealand has made an exceptional impact on the global market. By focusing on the design and build of recreational products, New Zealand marine companies emphasize the use of materials that can withstand a diverse range of conditions, have a long lifespan, and can be used year-round.
