Ace Engineering NZ Ltd – DNA Boats

by

DNA Boats is a New Zealand family-owned and operated business that provides strong, safe, and customizable aluminium boats to the Australasian market.

DNA Boats founder and managing director Jason Elvines has a passion for designing and building aluminium boats, “it’s in my DNA”.

Jason has grown up enjoying New Zealand’s great outdoors for its hunting and fishing.

In the beginning, Jason built himself a small boat. Such was the interest in it, it quickly sold to a friend. Building himself another, with alterations in design, it was not long until this one was also sold. Thus began the early stages of DNA boats. In 2006 at age of 21 Jason finished his apprenticeship and started up Ace Engineering NZ Ltd which began designing and manufacturing Aluminium Boats.

The DNA brand was launched two years later in 2008. The company has now grown to a team of 10 turning out fine aluminium boats. Jason still remains very much hands-on in the design and production side of the business, as well as the sales role accompanied and supported by his wife Melissa.

Skipper Training NZ Ltd

by

Through years of teaching for different maritime training providers, we identified a need for practical, hands-on training options.

In our experience, most other skipper training courses put needless pressure on students, and over-complicate what – we thought – could be so simple.

That’s why we put our heads together and developed a completely new SRL course with a focus on efficiency and practicality.

In a nutshell, our SRL course is unique in that…

  • It doesn’t require months of self-directed online learning
  • Your tutor will sign off your Training Record Book in class
  • It includes practical sessions on the water
  • You can complete your Training and Record book on our block course in 4 – 5 weeks

That way, you can gain your skipper qualification much faster and with more support than in other SRL courses.

Skipper Training NZ (Ministry of Education number 6035) is a private training establishment that has been granted registration by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority under Part 4, subpart 5 of the Education and Training Act 2020.

Osprey Boats NZ Ltd

by

Not every boat manufacturing company talks about their history to potential purchasers. But, at Osprey, it’s one of the first things we do. There are two reasons for this…

Firstly, we do have a history. And secondly, it’s a history that we think lends itself to reassuring potential purchasers that they are about to make the right decision.

Our History

It all began in the quintessential Kiwi way with one man, Lloyd Elliott.

His early involvement, passion and expertise in design and manufacture within New Zealand’s fishing boat industry, led him to form a company, Alloyd Engineering Limited.

Lloyd began manufacturing specialist aluminium fishing boats almost twenty years ago and with early customers being professional mussel farmers, the product just had to be right.

And it was. To such an extent it allowed the company to forge ahead with design and development, to the point where in 1996, the our New Zealand range of boats was unveiled. Immediately recognised for their excellence and safety, the Osprey boats have been purchased by such diverse groups as conservation departments, harbour boards and adventure tourism companies. The boats have become increasingly popular in the recreational market.

And as a New Zealander who just loves getting out on the water in the weekend, that’s the thing Lloyd likes the best of all.

This experience and enthusiasm has led to sales to many diverse groups, like conservation departments, harbour boards & adventure tourism companies.
