Our reputation precedes us with businesses coming to us because they know we consistently deliver customised products on time with quality workmanship. When you deal with Luke and the team directly, there’s no middleman, just down to earth, experienced boat builders who understand the marine environment. They will make recommendations so you end up with a smart, cost effective, superior end product.
Owner and Head Designer, Luke Seuren is a sheet metal worker by trade and has a wealth of knowledge and experience in Boat Building, Aluminum Fabrication and General Engineering. Luke also has a vast background in Project Management.
Before setting up Tangaroa Marine with wife and Business Manager Kelly, the pair owned and managed a general engineering company with a team of 50 staff. They decided to follow their passion for the Marine Industry and have been up and running with Tangaroa Marine for the past 4 years. Luke & Kelly along with their children have a love for the outdoors, and when they’re not hard at work producing vessels, they will be on the sea or Luke can be found in the wild hunting.
Dean Busher has been with Tangaroa from the beginning and has worked alongside Luke & Kelly for the past eight years. Dean is an well established boat builder with over 25 years of experience working around the world specialising in creating aluminium vessels. Hone Kingi started his career as an apprentice under Luke and Dean in 2012 and is now a qualified and very skilled boat builder.
