Senator Boats
Senator Boats, based in Napier, New Zealand, has been building rugged, highly customisable aluminium chamber boats since 1996. Engineered for unmatched safety, buoyancy and performance for both recreational and commercial use in some of the world’s toughest waters.
Senator lets you choose the setup that fits your adventure, making your boat truly your own
With so many ways to customise your Senator boat, Marine and Outdoors is here to help you navigate the options and create a setup that perfectly matches your adventure. Our team’s expertise ensures you get the right features tailored to how you like to spend time on the water.
Start here
-
Guardian Chamber System
Explore with confidence thanks to Senator Guardian Safety Chambers, which provide unmatched buoyancy. Each fully sealed chamber - even the rod holders - keeps the boat afloat if one is pierced, giving peace of mind for every boatie and their crew.
-
SureSea Hull
The Senator SureSea hull inspires confidence - planing at low speeds, carving through swell, and holding steady in a following sea. Designed to handle whatever the ocean throws its way, the variable deadrise hull truly lives up to its name.
-
Mission Modular System
Some Senator models offer the Mission Modular System - a sub-deck rail that lets you swap out seating, storage, and even the live bait tank. Rig it for an early morning of fishing or diving, then clear the deck for family fun, with space for biscuits, water skis, kids, and friends.
-
Max Deck
Senators are designed with the Guardian Chamber System set wide in the sides, which means a bigger deck than most boats. More room for your crew and gear makes it ideal for fishing, diving, or family adventures, giving everyone space to enjoy the day.
Buying your Senator with Marine & Outdoors
At Marine and Outdoors, there are two ways to buy a Senator — and we’re here to guide you through whichever suits you best.
YARD STOCK
We know waiting isn’t for everyone, which is why we have a selection of Senators on our yard. These are smartly specced with plenty of flexibility in mind, giving you the freedom to choose the finishing touches. From electronics to accessories to your colour wrap, it still feels like your own.
It’s the fastest way to get on the water, without compromising on choice.
CUSTOM BUILD
If you’re after a boat specced exactly to your needs, we’ll guide you through a full build from the Senator factory. While the number of build options are plenty, our team makes it easy with a unique quoting system built for each model (a Marine and Outdoors exclusive). It helps you see your options clearly and ensures you get a setup that’s perfect for your adventures and budget.
Add to that our extensive photo library of real fit-ups (never stock imagery), and you’ll see the standard of workmanship we deliver — some of the best in New Zealand.
