Turangi Marine Limited has all that’s required for that next boating trip, jetski adventure or fishing trip. Handy to Lake Taupō and located just off State Highway 1 in Turangi, this one-stop-shop is a treasure trove for all things boating or marine, with the service and support to back it up. Local boaties and out-of-towners alike know this is the place to find a good selection of new and pre-loved boats, displayed enticingly in the yard. Also on site is a large showroom boasting an extensive range, from outboards to boat packages, marine safety equipment, water sports accessories, and more. Owners Pauline and Craig Lyons lead a friendly, caring team. Craig has more than 35 years’ mechanical experience and has just been awarded an Honorary Life Membership for more than 30 years’ service as a local Coastguard skipper. Pauline worked as a DOC planner for many years. Both live in the outdoors and love the water, and are passionate about creating great experiences for their clients. “Our focus is on creating relationships that endure well past that initial point of sale,” says Pauline. “We live in the community and are on a first-name basis with our clients and, as boaties ourselves, we are very safety conscious. When someone buys a boat from us, we make sure they have an understanding of what they are getting into with launching, retrieving, electronics and all the different features. Similarly, when repowering a boat we go through a series of checks to ensure the new engine is appropriate for their boat.” Turangi Marine was already well-established when Pauline and Craig purchased it in 2011, and they have since continued to grow its well-respected reputation. “We’ve expanded the offices, put in a new workshop, and will soon further develop the showroom too.” With a team of qualified marine mechanics, Turangi Marine is well-equipped for all servicing and repowers. Many boats are stored in and around the Southern Lake Taupō area. Turangi Marine’s good relationships with suppliers and storage owners ensure that servicing is a breeze. Turangi Marine are authorised agents for Yamaha outboards, WaveRunners (jetskis) and have good deals available on jetskis and outboards, (check out the ‘Real Deals’ on their website, www.turangimarine.co.nz). “Come along to one of our demo days if you want to have a try!” Extreme Aluminium Boats and Buccaneer Fibreglass Hull boats are another core offering, with a size and style to suit all needs. Both brands offer New Zealand-made quality and share a reputation for superb handling and stability. “The Extreme Boats range looks just as good as any fibreglass boat. They are versatile and equally at home on the lake and at sea – popular models include the Sport Fisher and Game King.” Buccaneer Boats is a long-trusted name in New Zealand boating. Their Esprite model is popular with its additional seating in the bow and the Excess model has a cabin for comfortable boating in all weather. Turangi Marine also sells preloved jetskis, boats, trailers and outboards. “With our diversified range of jetskis and boat hulls and with more opportunities coming up as well, we are positive about our business and ongoing growth.” Secure a Build Slot Phone Us Now 07 386 8474 LOOKING FOR A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN?
