The team at Purekraft recently unveiled the Rova 29, the flagship of the new ROVA line-up. Designed and built entirely in-house, the Rova 29 redefines what’s possible in amphibious boating. With a length overall (LOA) of 9.9 metres, it is powered by twin Yamaha 300 outboards featuring full Helm Master EX integration for unmatched control and manoeuvrability. A state-of-the-art electronics suite pushes the boundaries of onboard technology.
“Prevail”, a ROVA 29, is the result of a collaboration between four parties: Hall Marine Design, Purekraft Boats, Anura Amphibious Systems, and of course, the owners. The first two companies share design and production facilities located in sunny Papamoa, New Zealand. Set against a backdrop of stunning landscapes and pristine waters, it’s easy to understand the inspiration that drives these companies and has led them to become leaders in marine innovation and design. ROVA by Purekraft is a new range of amphibious boats, with “Prevail” being the first.
At first glance, its sleek, sculpted lines and premium finishes evoke the elegance of a luxury motor yacht. But its actual distinction lies in its dual capability, seamlessly transitioning between land and sea to offer a level of freedom and convenience few vessels can match.
This initial ROVA 29 is likely to remain unique, simply because the owners had several specific requirements tailored to their needs. The vessel was designed primarily for business commuting, while still being perfectly suited to recreational use.
Suppose you’re seeking a less expensive alternative to an Airbus H130 Executive helicopter for travelling from the far eastern end of Waiheke Island to downtown Auckland. In that case, you may want to consider the Purekraft Rova 29 Amphibious. In essence, it’s a privately owned commuter boat, designed and built to meet the discerning needs of owners who want the flexibility to travel between their Waiheke Island property and Auckland city at any time, 24/7 – without the inconvenience and delays associated with the regular ferry service.
While it is a commuter vessel, this is very much a Business Class craft, refined, practical, and anything but ostentatious. It allows the owners not only to travel comfortably and quickly but also to work en route between destinations.
Inside, the experience is exceptional, with every detail of the interior considered, from the ergonomically designed helm to the hand-stitched leather handrails and premium materials throughout. The spacious deck layout and refined fit-out create an ideal setting for both relaxed cruising and sophisticated entertaining.
The Rova 29, as with every vessel bearing the Purekraft badge is a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to excellence. They understand that it’s the little things that make the biggest difference, and the Rova 29 exemplifies this philosophy.
