Hi, My name is Tony Boerdyk.

How many times have we drawn a mental picture of a boat we saw in an ad and after viewing it said 'Not at all what I imagined'.

The huge variety of boats, makes, shapes, layouts etc. etc. has always made it very difficult to advertise a vessel without leaving most of it to ones imagination.

My wife and I flew from Auckland to Picton to see this dream boat after a string of phone calls and faxes only to receive apologies for its misrepresentation.

This need not happen anymore.

Like they say, 'A picture is worth a thousand words' and with the advent of the Internet it has offered us unique opportunities to more accurately present a boat to the buying public or for the browsers to see what is available.

This did not get lost to me, having messed about with boats for over 30 years.

Browsing through various other sites I quickly realised there was room for a small New Zealand focused website for the total marine field and so created www.boatz.co.nz, a user friendly site suitable for just browsing but also for the serious buyer and seller. All at a reasonable cost be it private or professional.

The 'Boatz' team offers a standard quality service and yet is small enough to meet most advertisers special needs and requests.

If we can't get it right for you, there is a money back guarantee.
