New Zealand-based amphibious systems manufacturer Anura has announced its first UK partnership with Warrior Boats, confirming the integration of Anura’s S15 amphibious system into upcoming builds. This marks a significant milestone in Anura’s expansion across the UK and Europe.
The partnership was driven by a specific customer requirement and solidified during a face-to-face meeting at Metstrade 2024 in Amsterdam. There, the Warrior Boats team had the chance to inspect Anura’s S25 demonstration system firsthand. The request originated from a long-standing customer facing restricted tidal access and increasing challenges with solo launching.
“That meeting at METS gave us complete confidence,” says Phil Byrom, director of Warrior Boats. “We looked at other systems, but Anura came across as the most professional. We did our research on the boat builders using Anura in New Zealand – and they’ve got an impressive portfolio. We just felt more at ease going down this route.”
Anura continues to grow its footprint in the UK and European markets, with ongoing conversations with other builders responding to rising demand for amphibious capability.
Warrior Boats has built over 3,500 boats in 30 years, making it one of the UK’s leading small boat manufacturers. The first Warrior models with Anura’s system are scheduled for launch in Q3 2025.
