Building
At Midwest, we don't just build boats; we engineer your next great story on the water.
Visit midwestboats.co.nzRooted in Whanganui
Rooted in the heart of Whanganui, our team combines traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation to create vessels that are as resilient as they are refined. Whether you're navigating the reaches of the Whanganui River or heading out for a blue-water adventure, a Midwest boat is built to handle the unique demands of New Zealand's waters with precision and pride.
The Midwest Difference
Craft, Not Catalogue
Built for New Zealand water
From the reaches of the Whanganui River to blue-water crossings — hulls designed for the conditions they actually work in.
Certified aluminium welding
Every seam laid down by fully certified welders. Traditional craftsmanship, modern equipment.
Built around you
Layout, fit-out, electronics and rigging specified to how you use the boat — not to a catalogue.
Backed by the whole workshop
Servicing, electronics and repairs under the same roof, so your boat is looked after long after handover.
Whanganui Coastguard Project
Whanganui Rescue
We recently had the pleasure of constructing a new vessel for the Whanganui Coastguard and they were delighted with the results. Check out the build below!
As well as building Whanganui Rescue we also service Manawatu and South Taranaki, and are currently doing refits on two of Coastguard New Zealand's bailment boats.
