When you buy a new yacht you are not simply investing in a boat, you’re investing in a new on-water lifestyle. Buying the yacht is about the new memories you’ll create cruising beautiful bays with family and friends or rounding buoys with your racing crew.
It’s about turning off the phone and feeling the wind blowing through your hair. It’s about enjoying a few sundowners with sunburnt cheeks and an infectious smile on your face.
We are here to make sure your dream lifestyle comes true, and to do that you need a quality yacht, a first class commissioning process and a professional service support team who have the passion and experience to keep your yacht ready for anything.
At Windcraft we really enjoy looking after our owners. Our team has the experience, enthusiasm and knowledge essential to supporting your boating interests and needs. We have built a team of energetic and passionate individuals who between them know every aspect of the boat and yacht world. They have the experience to set you up with perfect boating package and importantly to help ensure you get the very most out of it.

Having grown up dingy sailing and owning trailer sailors boating has been in my blood for most of my life. After going to maritime school in Nelson, I have worked both locally on small cruise ships and internationally on Superyachts. I have a passion for all kinds of boating, from dingy sailing through to blue water game fishing. Having attended the last Americas cup in Bermuda I am very much looking forward to seeing the Kiwis keep hold of the auld mug next year at the Americas cup. When I’m not working, I have a passion for leaning about the latest and greatest marine electronics and all things techie. Or getting out camping and tramping in our great outdoors.
Having built boats as a younger man and holding the dream to one day own his own boat, it became reality three years ago when Mark and his wife took ownership of a fine example of a Lotus 10.6.
It wasn’t long before the maintenance grew into a hobby and he enjoys working on every aspect of the boat, which can be endless, but not so the budget! Coincidently his passion for working in and around yachts lead Mark to Windcraft Service here in Auckland.
Mark has some adventurous blue water and harbour racing experience, however cruising the world class Hauraki Gulf right on his doorstep will be a focus for many years to come.
Surfing is another passion of his, so anchoring just off Whangapoua Beach on the east coast of Great Barrier Island, with a light off-shore breeze, an open ocean swell and the surf an easy paddle distance away – is Mark’s ultimate.
