About Boat

We’re not the same

Selecting your boating requirements from the catalogue is really trouble free. Shop from home or work, or even after hours by fax, website or answer phone. All correspondence and phone calls are replied to punctually, at no cost. What’s more, the people you speak to will want to speak to you! (no more dealing with people who know little about what they’re selling, let alone have the product).

You get what you want!

The result is we are committed to your satisfaction. If you don’t get attention to your liking, call me, Andrew Mahan, toll free direct, you will be put through every time you need to speak to us.

Get the genuine deal about the product

Nothing beats it - all our staff are boaties and the knowledge simply is our strongest asset, it is kept for the most important person - you - and what’s more it’s available free to that same person.

The crew behind the helm

Knowing the difference between a toilet gland and a prop stuffing box, or gps and dgps, or vhf and satellite communication, we see it all as essential knowledge. Our staff are honed to your degree of pride. Their keeness towards the broadness of watersports is for your convenience, each is competitive in their fields.

We’ve been around for more than one generation

Boat-Marine Mail Agencies was established in boat building - the movement toward chandlery developed in the 1960’s with catalogues going out to a numbered few. (Since it only circulated basically within a 100 mile radius). Trust in us as a mail order firm was based on our promise to “happily refund purchases if at all unsatisfied”. One reason for the continued success of the business is the fact that practically every article handled has been personally tested. Where we suggest a particular bilge pumps suits an installation, it is because we have found it compatible. If we tell you a lifejacket is worth having, you may very likely have seen us testing it on various craft - commercial or pleasure. The firm is a little larger now, but we continue to be active in boating and water sports. We believe as at the start, that each customer is a real person, to be treated with the same respect and personal consideration as we ourselves would wish to be treated.

Blunders (<#”?%!:*^#!>)

We make them - who doesn’t? But we will cheerfully correct them if the fault is ours (and even if it isn’t). Try to write to us good naturedly, but if you cannot, then write to us anyway. Please don’t let an error go unnoticed, even call us collect. We want an early opportunity to make right any mistakes that may occur.

Our promise

If you are not completely happy with any purchase from us, send it back for an immediate, friendly refund, credit to your credit card or replacement, as you see fit. We do not want you to have any item from Boat NZ that is not fully up to your standard.
