Trusted NZ Boating Advisors with 25+ Years’ Experience
Experience You Can Trust. Quality You Can Feel. Service You Can Rely On.
At Charlie Bravo Boat Co, we believe boating should be safe, enjoyable, and deeply rewarding. For over 25 years, we’ve supported New Zealand boat owners through exceptional products, honest advice, and service built on accountability and care.
We’re more than a sales or distribution business. We are custodians of the brands we represent and trusted advisors to the boat owners we work with, delivering solutions that improve confidence and enjoyment on the water.
Our Difference
-
We’re highly selective about the brands we represent. Before taking on a new agency, we look for proven build quality, technical excellence, strong supplier relationships, long-term support, and genuine innovation.
This is why we represent Viknes and Skilsø, two of Norway’s most respected powerboat builders. Viknes is a second-generation, family-owned yard and the market leader in Norway, admired for refined design and serious offshore capability. We hold their exclusive New Zealand rights.
The same philosophy guides our marine electronics and yacht hardware partnerships. We only represent brands we would choose for our own boats.
-
Authenticity and accountability shape everything we do. Our clients trust us because we stand behind our recommendations, tailor advice to each owner, and treat every vessel with the care it deserves. Many rely on us for long-term servicing, upgrades, and maintenance - trust we don’t take lightly.
-
Our experience spans marine sales and brokerage, importation and distribution, OEM relationships, after-sales support, electronics, rigging, and both coastal and offshore boating. This depth of knowledge allows us to give practical, informed guidance at every stage of ownership.
