Design - Build Quality
Quality control starts with the purchase of raw materials, continuing through each stage of the manufacturing process. We invest in both people and plant to ensure we retain our cutting edge. Stabicraft Marine welders are certified to international standards and we have the largest router in New Zealand.

As the name suggests, stability and safety have always been a predominant aim of Stabicraft Marine and we were one of the first New Zealand boat manufacturers to sign up for CPC certification as an independent verification of build standard, and the first manufacturer to sign up for the Australian Boat Builders Plate.

Commercially rated hulls are standard in our larger boats, the 859 and 759 Supercabs, and optional for medium sized Supercabs.
Production Process
Particular attention is given to each and every Stabicraft boat produced, with quality and pride of workmanship being an important aspect of the manufacturing process. A quality checking system is in place to check material and components at each stage of production, ensuring every Stabicraft product that enters the market place is not just superior in terms of quality but exceeds the standards of the boating industry.
Stabicraft boats are made to order. After an order has been confirmed, high quality aluminium sheets are precision-cut and pressed using high-tech, computerised equipment according to Stabicraft's exacting design specifications.
The hull, floor and tube frame are fabricated into a complete lower half of the craft. All components are precision welded by Stabicraft's highly qualified welders.
The superstructure (cabin) is fitted and pre-paint preparation is completed. The craft is sprayed with high quality paint. Paint or a metallic paint finish is standard or an option across all models with the exception of the rescue boats. Modern and smart graphic packages are standard on Supercab, XR and Frontier models (with the exception of the 389 Frontier) and optional on the Fishers.
Accessories and options are fitted along with high quality acrylic and glass windows. A full quality control checklist is run on the boat to check both materials and build quality.
