Specialists in the care, maintenance and repair of wooden boats
We treat every boat like it's 'ours', because we care
Whether it's large (up to say 45ft) or small, one thing we respect is the love of an owner of the boat in our care. So your boat, becomes the most important thing in our world, while we have it in the shed
All your boat repairs, refits, maintenance & painting undertaken with experience and care.
We take pride in a job well done
Keep your wooden boat looking superb
When we cut out the rot, we don’t cut corners. We aim to be as thorough as possible. We’ve gained a lot of knowledge in this area, which we believe has saved quite a few boats from ending up on the bottom
It definitely pays to get on top of rot – believe us.
We are always happy to inspect and repair wooden boats – it’s an essential service to our boating history.

What our customers say
“We were referred to Burnnand Marine by another boat builder unable to accommodate our large deck replacement job, due to not having covered premises. Glenn’s waterside shed is amazing in that there is no need for a straddle lift from the water.
Throughout our job, Glenn kept us up to date with photo updates which was helpful and reassuring. Glenn was open to our wishes and ideas, which he balanced with advice and guidance based on many years of experience.
We were impressed with the standard of care taken with our boat, and felt the whole team respected the importance of our job to us, and our investment in it. The work was completed in good time, and many recommendations for change and improvements lead to results that exceeded our expectations overall.
We are thrilled with our ‘renovations’, and have fallen in love with our little launch all over again. It’s a great feeling to be on board, and we would not hesitate in calling Glenn again to appoint
Burnnand Marine to do our next list of maintenance and upgrades.”

“I’ve worked with Glenn on my boat Skipjack, a 1918 ten metre kauri hull launch. In that time we made the boat watertight, both above and below the waterline. This required the replacement of all keel bolts and skin fittings, re-decking of the topsides and re-fitting of wheelhouse windows. We also fitted a stove, electric head, and modified the engine box and gas locker. Glenn also took care of antifouling.
Undoubtedly, there are boat builders who could have done a similar job, however, at no time did I contemplate an alternative, simply because Glenn is so easy to work with. He and his team proved over and over, to be proactive, attentive to detail and quick, and consequently, highly cost-effective. These days, in Waikawa, Skipjack draws many admiring comments.
That the boat looks as good as it does, is largely due to his skill with wood and glass. Equally important, I am extremely pleased that his efforts have made Skipjack a most seaworthy vessel. And the shed on Ngapipi by the OBC is very easily accessed. I would commend Burnnand Marine to any wooden boat owner who wants excellent service at a very reasonable rate.”

“I’ve owned my classic launch {Pleasure Lady} since 2001 and berthed at the OBC. During that time the boat has undergone many upgrades, varnishing and paintwork by Glenn at Burnnand Marine. They have always been very accommodating when we need work done, big or small. It’s really the high standard of workmanship that always stands out and just knowing the job will always be done properly.
I will continue using Burnnand Marine in the future and would recommend him and his team always.”
