Launching a new boat is about more than specifications. It is about creating a vessel that reflects the unique vision and lifestyle of its owner. The Heron 36, designed by renowned New Zealand marine architects Dibley Marine, has been conceived as a modern picnic boat that blends timeless elegance, practical versatility, and cutting-edge technology into a truly bespoke boating experience.
Unlike conventional production boats, the Heron 36 is designed around flexibility. Owners can tailor the vessel to their exact requirements, choosing from a range of propulsion solutions, including twin outboards, single or twin diesel inboards, or a fully electric drivetrain for quiet, emissions-free cruising. This unique approach allows each Heron 36 to be configured for its intended use, whether as a luxurious day boat, coastal cruiser, or eco-conscious family adventurer.
With its sophisticated lines, exceptional seaworthiness, and efficient hull form, the Heron 36 represents a new generation of New Zealand-designed boating. Looking ahead, the Heron concept is also expanding, with a 45-foot flagship model currently under development, bringing the same design philosophy and customisable approach to an even larger platform.
The Heron 36 is not simply a boat. It is a platform for personalisation, designed around the way you want to enjoy life on the water.
