Commercial Boat Building

Custom-built vessels designed for commercial performance

Gough Brothers Engineering has decades of experience crafting robust commercial fishing boats and purpose-built tourism vessels. From initial design through to launch day, we build boats tailored precisely to your operational needs - practical, reliable, and made to last.

  • Each project starts with understanding your vision and requirements. Our experienced marine designers work closely with you, using advanced CAD technology to produce detailed designs.

  • We carefully select marine-grade materials tailored to your vessel’s specific use. Aluminium provides strength, durability, and corrosion resistance - perfect for demanding commercial operations. Our frame construction uses components assembled with laser-level precision, ensuring structural integrity is rigorously maintained.

  • We carefully integrate plumbing, electrical systems, fuel tanks, and specialised equipment. Every vessel undergoes comprehensive finishing - marine-grade coatings, robust hardware installation, and testing - to ensure reliability and compliance with New Zealand marine standards.

  • Throughout the build, we maintain open communication. Regular updates and opportunities for feedback ensure the finished vessel matches your expectations exactly.

At Gough Brothers Engineering, we combine craftsmanship and technology with a client-focused approach to create high-performing boats. Whether for fishing or sightseeing, our skilled team turns your vision into reality.
