When you’re comparing boat accessories, start with what you want to make easier.
Keeping rods out of the way?
Giving loose gear a home?
Making better use of a tight space?

Then check how the options would fit your boat and the way you use it. Price matters, but so do dimensions, mounting requirements and whether the accessory solves your problem.

We can help you explore the Boating & Outdoors range with your priorities and budget in mind. Bring us a photo, a few measurements and your wish list.

Let’s talk through what would earn its place aboard.

One more bay?
Make sure there’s room in the day to get home.

It’s tempting to squeeze a little more into a Labour Weekend boating trip, especially when everyone’s enjoying being out on the water.
Before adding another stop, plan the return journey. Check the marine forecast for the whole outing, allow enough time to get back and consider how the crew will feel after a full day aboard.

A closer destination, a shorter route or saving the trip for another day are all good options when conditions don’t suit.

Share this with your Labour Weekend crew and get the planning chat started!

Good advice usually starts before anyone reaches for a product.

That practical experience helps match gear to the boat, the job and the person using it - and gives you someone local to come back to when you need help.

Pleasure & Marine is part of Boating & Outdoors, bringing the wider network’s range and buying power together with local marine knowledge in Invercargill.

It’s the best of both worlds.

Spring prep is not finished until you have looked underneath the boat as well.

Check the tyres and sidewalls, make sure the spare is aboard and inflated, and confirm the jack and wheel brace you carry actually suit the trailer. It is a much easier exercise in the driveway than on the shoulder of the road.

If something needs attention, call into Pleasure & Marine, part of the Boating & Outdoors dealer network – we have the parts, know-how and after sales support to keep you boating this spring.

We spend plenty of time thinking about what can go wrong on the water. Sometimes the trip comes unstuck before the boat reaches it. A boat trailer deals with heavy loads, long periods sitting still, highway speeds and regular saltwater immersion. Spring boat trailer maintenance is your chance to fin...

September school holidays: excellent excuse to get back on the water, poor time to discover winter problems.

Check lifejackets still fit, test the battery and electronics, look over fuel lines, anchor gear and the bilge pump, check the trailer, then use the marine forecast before you head out.

If something needs replacing or a second look, Pleasure & Marine is your local Boating & Outdoors dealer - pop in and see the team this week!

First trip back after winter? Make the first ten minutes count.

Winter storage can expose weak batteries, tired connections and small trailer or pump issues. Finding those at home is considerably nicer than finding them at the ramp.

The first genuinely warm weekend of spring arrives and the optimism kicks in. The cover comes off, the rods come out and someone announces that the boat is good to go. But if it has spent much of winter sitting in the garage, driveway or marina, your first trip should not begin with turning the […...

Two boats can use the same electronics very differently.

Talk through how you use the boat, what is already fitted and what you actually want the upgrade to do. That makes it easier to choose sensibly and get the installation and configuration right.

At Pleasure & Marine, you are dealing with a local Boating & Outdoors stockist, so the national range is backed by 800+ years marine experience, local advice and after-sales support.
