The Countdown is on!

With just one month to go, the countdown is officially on for the Auckland Boat Show 2026 - and 36° Brokers will be on the docks with three standout yachts that cover a lot of ground for Kiwi boaters. From performance sailing to relaxed coastal cruising, our lineup is all about real-world boating, proven designs, and yachts that genuinely suit how people use their boats in New Zealand.

Excess 11

Kicking things off is the Excess 11, a 37-foot performance catamaran that has quickly earned a reputation for being fast, fun, and refreshingly uncomplicated. Designed for sailors who want to stay connected to the water, the Excess 11 delivers lively handling, dual aft helm stations, and a clean, practical sail plan. Add in a surprisingly spacious interior for her size, and you’ve got a cat that works just as well for weekend escapes as it does for longer coastal adventures.

Beneteau Oceanis 40.1 - First Line

Next up is the ever-popular Beneteau Oceanis 40.1, a yacht that continues to hit the sweet spot for New Zealand sailors. Comfortable without being dull and capable without being intimidating, the 40.1 offers twin rudders for confidence under sail, a generous cockpit for entertaining, and flexible interior layouts to suit couples, families, or cruising mates. It’s a yacht that feels immediately familiar and easy to live with, whether you’re day sailing or heading further afield.

Beneteau Swift Trawler 41

Rounding out the trio is the Beneteau Swift Trawler 41, a powerboat that’s all about comfort, range, and time well spent on the water. With a light-filled saloon, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and excellent accommodation for family and friends, the Swift Trawler 41 is built for relaxed cruising and long lunches at anchor. Efficient, practical, and incredibly comfortable, it’s a boat that makes coastal exploration easy and enjoyable.

See Them All on the Water!

Visitors to the show will be able to step aboard all three models, chat directly with the 36° Brokers team, and get straight-up advice on layouts, options, and which boat best suits their plans. Whether you’re actively looking for your next yacht or just enjoy seeing great boats up close, these are models worth spending time on.

One month to go.
