Te Ariki Nui is a 53ft sport fishing launch built by Robertson Boats. Being ahead of its time in terms of performance, quality of finish and comfort it helped pave the way for what has become a sucessfull shape and style of planing launch in New Zealand. Boasting great blue water performance and eye catching features it has served as benchmark in the NZ sport fishing scene. All aspects of this build were completed in house including the redesign of some areas and the design and construction of the tuna tower feature. The vessel is still operating doing commercial fishing charters around the coast of NZ.
