Surtees Boats has built its reputation on crafting no-nonsense fishing machines capable of handling serious conditions. The Whakatāne manufacturer is now giving new buyers the chance to win what could be the ultimate New Zealand fishing experience.
Any brand-new Surtees purchased between 1 August and 30 November 2025 earns the buyer an entry into the draw. The promotion applies whether the boat is bought directly through Surtees HQ or via one of the company's dealers across New Zealand and Australia.
For many fishing enthusiasts, a visit to the Surtees factory to see how these boats are actually built has long been a bucket-list ambition in itself. The prize package delivers on that, and then some. The winner receives an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the workshop, paired with a fully hosted itinerary that puts the best of New Zealand fishing and adventure front and centre.
The winning package goes well beyond a brief factory visit. A day aboard Holy Ship with Scott and Mig from Fishing & Adventure brings the on-water action and larger-than-life personalities that fans of the television programme will recognise. A game-fishing charter aboard Heavy Metal with renowned angler Ben Brown adds serious fishing credentials to the prize, with billfish and big pelagics the target off the rugged west coast.
Time in Rotorua and Taupo rounds out the itinerary, with activities covering the heart of the North Island. Flights, accommodation, and a rental car are all included.
It is a prize built around everything the Surtees lifestyle stands for: fishing hard, exploring new waters, and sharing the kind of camaraderie that comes with the territory.
