New Zealand made,
built in-house, engineered for conditions most boats never see.
Circa Marine builds explorer yachts for a different kind of owner. Made for those drawn to the ocean with genuine curiosity, who know a capable boat from an ordinary one. Since the start, they've challenged conventional boat build thinking through innovative design, relentless offshore capability, and a working knowledge of what the sea actually demands. The result is a range of purpose-built vessels, 20, 24 and 40 metres, that have equipped owners for real expeditions across the world's most unforgiving coastlines.

A Note from the Founder.
A Note from the Founder.
After more than a decade in mainstream brokerage, I founded Ocean Vault to work differently: fewer clients, better vessels. My style of brokering is centred on long-term relationship building and working with clients throughout the lifespan of their boat ownership journey.
After a career selling a range of vessel types, I saw a real specialist need to connect owners with something that was truly built well, safe and long-range capable. This built on the belief that the right vessel should unlock a lifetime of adventure. Over time, that philosophy naturally led me to Circa Marine team and a long history selling FPBs worldwide.
I work with a small number of clients at any one time, guiding them through the process from first conversation to final handover. Every recommendation starts with understanding how you want to spend time on the water, where you want to go, and what matters most to you and your family.
