2 min read

Extreme Boats will take centre stage at the 2026 Auckland On Water Boat Show, with the world premiere of a brand-new model making its debut on the Yamaha Marine Helm Master EX-perience pontoon. The new release will appear alongside one of the most comprehensive on-water collections of Game King models ever assembled in one place, giving visitors a rare chance to weigh the latest innovation against proven blue water performers.

That lineup spans six boats: the 646, 696, 745, 795, 886 and flagship 986. Together they give showgoers a genuine opportunity to walk through the full range, compare builds and hull sizes side by side, and see where the new model sits within a family of designs that has earned Extreme Boats its reputation as New Zealand's most awarded aluminium boat brand.

The 646 and 696 Game King sit at the accessible end of the range without compromising on offshore ability. Both deliver the cockpit space and hull confidence needed to venture beyond the heads, in a package that remains manageable for everyday use. Step up to the 745 and 795 and the picture shifts toward longer-range capability, with increased fuel capacity, extended hardtops and expanded deck space suited to bigger crews and more ambitious itineraries.

At the upper end of the range, the 886 and 986 Game King models are built for those who push well offshore as a matter of routine. Commanding helm positions, substantial cabin volume and twin outboard capability make these boats natural choices for serious anglers and blue water adventurers who expect their vessel to perform in demanding conditions.

Running through every model is Extreme's signature deep vee hull form, high sides, robust plate construction and a level of finishing that sets the brand apart in the aluminium segment. That combination of strength, ride quality and detail work has driven the awards recognition the brand now holds.

The on-water setting of the Auckland On Water Boat Show provides exactly the kind of access that a showroom floor cannot replicate. Visitors can step aboard each model, assess build quality at close quarters and talk directly with the Extreme team about layout options, power choices and customisation.

The new model reveal and the full Game King display will be on the water throughout the duration of the show.
