Bladerunner Boats with Silver Wing Marine: design and build foil assisted Aluminium Catamarans. 

The business was established in 1992 and a small family team have been designing and building the bladerunner foil assisted aluminium catamaran boat since then. They now produce elegant well finished aluminium boats that have shape and dimension seldom seen in boats with the aluminium stregth. The boats are first and foremost designed for strength, durability, safety and efficiency, then designed to look good as well.

With over 20 years of comprehensive understanding and research in foil technology the design has developed over the years and without compromising ride, economy or safety, we now produce stylish cats with class. Greg Shine, the director of the company and boat designer, oversees the building of all our vessels.

With the foil assisted hull the boats are economical on fuel and can give cruising speeds in the 30 - 40 knot range. Our fastest diesel time over the measured mile has been 43 knots achieved in a 8 M diesel powered cray fishing boat. Other boats have achieved these kind of top speeds but we tend to build for more economical cruising speeds in the 25 - 35 knot range. ,

Located in the North West of Auckland in the small town of Kumeu, our vessels are launched at West Harbour Marina. where sea trials take place in the Auckland Harbour.

Our small team of Boat builders are fully trained to New Zealand Marine Industry Standards, with apprentices training with us in house.

A small friendly team of experienced Boat Builders, who take pride in their work.
