Welcome to HamiltonJet New Zealand

New Zealand's Jet Boat Specialists for Over 50 Years

 

Since 1953, when Sir William Hamilton built the first jet boat to travel up a shallow fast flowing river, the Hamilton name has been synonymous with high quality jet boats and waterjet propulsion in New Zealand and around the world.


Today, HamiltonJet waterjets are the preferred propulsion choice for recreational and commercial craft where high efficiency, reliability, outstanding manoeuvrability, shallow draft capability and low maintenance are key requirements.


HamiltonJet New Zealand, formally known as Hamilton Marine Division, has been manufacturing recreational jet boats since 1960, and continues to produce a range of high quality jet boats out of its Christchurch factory. The company is also the authorised HamiltonJet waterjet distributor for New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
