Smartkat New Zealand

Dealership

Take the opportunity to start a business and acquire a Smartkat Dealership. We are always looking for enthusiastic sailors and people who love watersports to represent our brand. Join the family and gain the benefit of doing what you love and earning some cash.

We have a couple of business plans set up for individuals, companies already providing activities in the tourism industry or even for companies providing accommodation who would like to utilise their hard efforts and generate additional income from the growing tourism industry in New Zealand.

Official Dealers

Acquire an official dealership with Smartkat in New Zealand. Provide your customers with knowledge about the product and promote our product in your territory. Smartkat will take care of all requirements and regulations including our 2.5-year warranty and fast airfreight shipment on boats and spare parts.

Rental

Looking to invest and start your own business in the tourism industry? You could start renting out Smartkat products with a small budget and great margin. Sell your boats (e.g. on TradeMe) after 2 years before the warranty expires and get new boats. The only thing you have to do is get the boats to a shoreline and store them in the winter when it gets too cold. People will have the opportunity to hire one of our products and we will back you up by sending customers who would like to ‘try before they buy‘.

Start out with only a couple of units depending on your budget and build this into a bigger business. The Stand Up Paddleboards (SUP) from Smartkat might be a good addition to your rental company. New entrepreneurs can start out with a budget as low as NZ$ 20.000

We have the right contacts to get all the documentation in place such as your adventure tourism certification with AdventureMark and we will support you with promotions, merchandise, and banners to get your business started. Are you wondering why we would do all of this? Because your success is our success, Smartkat would like the boats on all the lakes and shorelines around New Zealand so people can see how well they’re built and sail.

Campgrounds or hotels

One of the best things to do for your guests and a great activity for people on holiday. Why not invite people who are already staying with you to go out on a sailing adventure? They can explore the area and see places that would normally not be accessible or cost a fortune to get to.

Ambassadors

Buy a Smartkat and become and enroll for the ambassador program. We will get in touch with you, talk about your experience with our product and if you’re keen and enthusiastic about our catamarans we will invite you to become an ambassador for our brand. Ambassadors need to be owners of a Smartkat (at least one unit), are you wondering why? Because when we go out sailing 9 out of 10 times someone comes up to us to talk about our boats. As ambassador, you could tell all about the product, your experience and even get a cut of the profit if you refer them to us.

Our purpose is to inspire people to sail, travel, and connect with nature as often as possible. We want Smartkat owners to sail in the most exciting places in the world; to go where sail boats have never been before. For years, we have been committed to this goal and it remains the foundation for everything we do.

It’s our community of dealers, however, who ultimately make these dreams come true. Our dealers are Smartkat ambassadors, the keepers of our culture. They help to create experiences, memories, and a bond that can last a lifetime.

If you join us, you will represent our brand and, above all, our company philosophy when dealing with customers. Our vision can only be achieved with the help of committed Smartkat partners who are ready to start a new adventurous chapter within their company. Just like us.

“Ready to sail/sell” means that we don’t just do business – we live it every day. Share your passion for sailing and your diverse experience in the field with your customers, and anyone else who has an interest in the soul-stirring world of sailing.

You can count on Smartkat. Whether you are involved in sales, marketing, or service, our entire team will be right behind you with premium products and the necessary expertise to back you at every turn. When it comes to our dealer network, we rely on quality, not quantity. We have established an active dealer-manufacturer relationship with our partners, who share and communicate our passion with their customers. Operating a Smartkat dealership is truly a unique business opportunity.
