BLUEWAVEMARINEBoat care and restoration in Auckland.

Your boat should make life better. Not give you another list.

The honest bit

Boats are brilliant. Owning one is a lot.

You buy a boat to be out on the water. Then comes the washing, the polishing, the checking, the small job that becomes a big job, and the Saturday you meant to spend on the harbour.

Somewhere along the way the boat turns into one more thing on the list. Some weekends it's easier not to go.

BlueWave exists to shorten the gap between wanting to go out and actually going.

Two ways we help

Start with where your boat is at.

Private Marine Care

Someone you trust looks after the boat, on a rhythm that suits how you use it. Usually about every six weeks, always built around you.

  • Washing, polishing and protecting, inside and out
  • Regular visual checks, so small things get noticed early
  • Ready before you leave, tidy when you're back

Restoration & Revival

Life gets busy. Boats sit. We've seen worse, and we're not here to judge it. We're here to bring it back.

  • Heavy cleans, oxidation removal, machine polishing
  • Mould, mildew and interior restoration
  • Worked out around what you can realistically spend

Why BlueWave

We know boats because we've lived on them.

Raised on a 42-foot sailing catamaran, later living aboard a 47-foot and a 28-foot monohull. Sailing, fishing, diving and fixing things in real conditions.

So we don't treat your boat like a car that happens to float. We notice what needs noticing, we tell you plainly, and when a job needs a marine engineer or electrician we coordinate the right person rather than leave it with you.
