The home of
in Australia!
We all have those moments that lead to repairs, luckily the beauty of composite watercraft is that they are almost infinitely repairable. We can work with fiberglass, carbon and Kevlar layups and make repairs to poly, vinyl and epoxy builds. You'd be surprised what can be repaired! We can offer practical advice on how to go about setting up your new purchase for the water. If you don't have the tools, or just aren't keen to be the one that drills the first hole in your shiny new ski, we can fit and install most kayak accessories to get you out and paddling.
WHY CHOOSE AN XPLORA?
Xplora watercraft are designed to be a great blend of speed and stability, making our craft versatile, with features to make your time on the water more enjoyable. Our focus is on improving what is available in the market to you the end customer. We consider what the end user will need , take feedback from our customers and then make it happen! With the decline in manufacturers in Australia, most sectors are now dominated by imported boats. In this case you deal with the importer, not the person building your boat and often you have to choose from the remaining colours available rather than the design you actually had in mind for your boat. With our boats, we also try to maximise internal access meaning you can easily customise your boat for the way you want to use it and our hatched models also have some of the best storage options on the market. Because we only make a small number of bespoke boats per year, we take the time to work with you to create the craft you really want rather than making you buy the boat we already have in stock. The other downside to purchaseing from importers rather than boat builders is the lack of support in after sales when things go wrong. Most importers do not carry out repairs themselves so often you are forced to find your own repairer, hopin ghtey have knowledge of the nuances of your particular craft type.
TRY BEFORE YOU BUY
There are plenty of options in the kayak market whether you are into racing, fitness or fishing and we recommend trying out as many options as possible to find the best fit for you. With this in mind, we endeavor to get you out on the water to try one of our boats to help you decide if they are the right fit for you. Get in touch to see what we can do.
QUALITY AND SERVICE
With our boats designed and built here in Melbourne, and your ability to buy a custom craft direct from us, the manufacturer, with no middle men, we can offer the best pricing you'll find for a boat made to this standard with this layup schedule. With our high grade layups, you know you are buying a quality product with the peace of mind of manufacturing warranty and excellent after sales service.
KAYAK FEATURES
We paddle and we fish, and the designs for our Xplora models came from needs we saw within existing offerings on the market. We want our watercraft to be stronger, and better than those that have gone before. We added clever layout touches to make the boats more practical and to make it even easier to fit out your craft with the latest tech to suit how you want to use it on the water.
X18 - THE FIRST COMPOSITE FISHING SKI DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED IN AUSTRALIA
Until now, the composite fishing ski was largely the domain of South African manufacturers. We wanted to produce a ski inspired by the distances we have to cover to find the fish (up to 40km in Portland for winter tuna) and we wanted it to be easily customised for the variety of species we like to target up and down the coast. Whether offshore tuna and kings is your thing, or sitting at anchor chasing snapper or whiting is more your cup of tea, we want to give you a boat that is an all-rounder that will give you many years of reliable service.
