DIYNO Kitset Boats - Better boats built best by you!

Building your own boat is still one the most challenging and rewarding projects you can do.

With a DIYNO kitset boat, you can achieve that goal.

As a sister company of Jim Pauling Yacht Design Ltd, DIYNO Kitset Boats has been established to enable clients the opportunity to access professional designs at a fraction of the cost of a full design fee. With access to the best designs, clients can build a top quality boat at an affordable price.

The choice of aluminium alloy makes good sense for kit set boats. Easily worked with inexpensive tools, light, strong, durable and clean to work, and gives the builder the option of painted or unpainted finish.

To ensure the quality of material matches the quality of the design, we only source our material from reputable New Zealand suppliers and all material is 5083 marine certified. A professional design and certified products means your investment of time and money is protected.

The kit sets provide you with the base boat, from which you can add your personal touches, be your preference fishing, diving, cruising or water sports. You have the freedom to choose and make the boat truly your own.

We can supply a base kit set or full package. To keep the cost of the kit sets as low as possible we continually update our pricing. That way we don’t need excess margins to cover unforeseen price increases and any price reductions we receive can be passed on to the builders. We can quote on everything from alloy to engines to electronics, even fairing materials, paints and upholstery.

We can also supply boats completed to any stage through our approved builder. Contact us for information on this option.

Trailer plans specifically designed to suit each kitset are also available.

Due to enquiry for timber/ply versions, we are now able to offer plans for timber/ply boats also.
