Welcome
For over 200 years Northland has been the home of shipwrights. These skills have been passed down as each generation adapts with new technologies along the way.
Now in the 2020's, we have found a way to bring all that knowledge together by collaboration; tapping in to a wealth of knowledge - creating a superteam.
NMC is an alliance of experts in marine engineering, fabrication & painting and boatbuilding, experienced in timber, aluminiun/steel and composite construction.
Every boat has her own story and needs, so feel free to call Trent about a customised solution. Meanwhile, browse our website and some of our recent projects.

"Trent and his team did a fantastic job repairing and improving our launch after we received a fairly poor marine survey. They went over and beyond and kept in touch frequently, updating us on the progress and trying to stay within budget. We both highly recommend Trent and will be using Northland Marine Contractors for our yearly maintenance - well worth coming up from Auckland."
"The standards that Trent sets for his projects and demands of his contractors and staff are exceptionally high. It
is not often that I find a contractor with higher standards than myself and even in the Superyacht industry, where
the quality of finish is always important, standards this high are rare indeed.
Bearing this in mind I have constantly been impressed by the very reasonable quotes that Trent makes on jobs,
and added to the fact that jobs are completed on time and to budget, the overall impression is one of extreme
professionalism and competence."
"I have worked with Trent at Northland Marine Contractors and I have sent many customers his way and have had positive feedback on his work I would recommend him to anyone."
