Surtees boats are designed with one purpose: to perform when conditions turn and expectations rise. Built in New Zealand’s demanding coastal environment, every Surtees combines heavy-duty aluminium construction with clever engineering to deliver a smoother ride, greater stability, and absolute confidence offshore.
A Model for Every Type of Fishing.
Stay steady when it matters most. Surtees’ industry-leading Anti-Roll™ ballast system uses water-filled keel technology to dramatically improve stability at rest — reducing roll and creating a safer, more comfortable platform for fishing.
As soon as you accelerate, the ballast automatically drains, restoring performance and efficiency. In rough conditions, the system can also be locked in, adding weight low in the hull to improve ride control and reduce impact. [hitechmarine.com.au]
This intelligent system solves one of boating’s biggest compromises — delivering both rock-solid stability while fishing and superior handling underway.
Built to perform offshore, the Surtees deep-V hull is designed to cut cleanly through chop and reduce harsh impacts. The sharp entry and well-balanced hull profile provide a smoother, more controlled ride — even when conditions turn against you.
When combined with the ballast system, the hull gains additional weight when needed, helping the boat settle in rough water and maintain forward momentum with less pounding.
The result is a boat that feels more composed, more predictable, and far more comfortable over long distances — allowing you to fish further and stay out longer.
Surtees boats are built from heavy-duty marine-grade aluminium with a fully welded internal structure, giving them the strength to handle harsh offshore conditions and years of use without compromise. We are so confident of the quality that we offer a 10 year worldwide hull warranty on all of our boats!
With multiple welded stringers, reinforced hull construction and integrated buoyancy chambers, every Surtees is engineered for long-term reliability and safety.
It’s a construction approach that prioritises durability over shortcuts — delivering a boat that can take on real-world conditions, not just calm days on the water.
Every Surtees boat is built around how real anglers fish. Large open cockpits, practical storage solutions and uncluttered layouts give you the space and efficiency needed to operate comfortably offshore.
From the Workmate’s maximised deck space to the Game Fisher’s extended capability, every design decision is focused on usability, not unnecessary features.
It’s a purpose-built approach that ensures your boat works with you, improving productivity, safety and enjoyment on every trip.

Surtees Specialist
My name is Jason Comino, I have been fishing and boating in SE Queensland for more than thirty years. I currently own a Surtees 650 Gamefisher and my last boat was a 650 Gamefisher too. I have over 15 years of experience in the marine industry, including new and used boat sales and parts and accessories. I have extensive experience in boat handling, rough weather driving, and beach launching. My favorite fish to chase are snapper, black-spot tuskfish, and black marlin. Always happy to advise on all things boating and fishing.
