Compound-Curved Performance Hull
At White Pointer, we craft our hulls the traditional way — upside down — to achieve unmatched structural integrity and performance. By wrapping 6mm or 8mm aluminium plate over a naval architect-designed skeleton of stringers, girders, and frames, we generate immense tension and force throughout the hull structure. This method eliminates any unsupported or "soft" areas in the aluminium, resulting in exceptional strength and longevity.
Combined with our precision compound-curved design, this approach delivers what we’re renowned for — the legendary White Pointer non-pounding ride. It’s a hull that doesn’t just handle rough water; it thrives in it, giving you maximum comfort, control, and confidence.
The result: one of the best-performing aluminium trailer boat hulls on the market.
Premium Windscreen & Window Systems
White Pointer boats feature a fully custom, one-piece curved 6mm windscreen — precision-formed without center pillars to deliver uninterrupted visibility and a sleek, modern profile. This robust design not only enhances safety and aesthetics, but also reinforces the structural integrity of the cabin. Complementing the windscreen are our custom frameless, non-corrosive sliding side windows, designed for durability in harsh marine environments while offering excellent ventilation and a clean, seamless look. Together, these features reflect our commitment to quality, functionality, and refined design at every level.
Custom Aluminium Trailers
Our boats are paired with custom-designed aluminium cradle bunk trailers engineered for optimal support and easy loading and launching. With 30 years of experience building aluminium trailers, we know the ins and outs of design, crack testing, and longevity to ensure every trailer stands the test of time. This design is inspired by Rex’s river boat racing days, where quick and secure boat handling was essential for loading onto trailers amid strong currents and swollen, flooding rivers. It’s outstanding for rugged coastline and beach launching, yet still perfect for city boat ramp use. Featuring our incorporated quick-release catch system, these trailers make boat loading hassle-free and efficient. Built for durability and convenience, we also offer options to meet WOF (Warrant of Fitness) and COF (Certificate of Fitness) requirements, ensuring your trailer complies with all safety standards and regulations.
Lloyd’s Special Service Craft Standards
Our hull design and structural reinforcements throughout the boat are engineered to align with the principles of Lloyd’s Register Special Service Craft standards — a globally respected benchmark for strength, safety, and performance. While our builds closely follow these standards, vessels intended for full commercial survey under Lloyd’s certification may require a few additional components or modifications, which we can incorporate prior to construction. We already have several commercial White Pointer builds successfully operating under Lloyd’s, proving the capability and confidence behind our design.
When you choose a White Pointer, you can feel confident knowing your boat is built to a standard trusted by professionals worldwide.
Superyacht-Standard Paint Finish
Our paintwork is finished to a superyacht standard, setting White Pointer apart in the aluminium boat market. We take exceptional pride in every detail of the coating process — from surface preparation to final clear — achieving an ultra-smooth, high-gloss finish that rivals high-end fibreglass vessels. In fact, it’s not uncommon for people to mistake our boats for glass builds, simply due to the flawless level of finish and precision we apply. It’s this commitment to perfection that reinforces the premium feel of every White Pointer we launch.
Sleek, Sharp Design – Done Right
At White Pointer, our bold, sharp lines and sleek hull profiles are no accident — they’re the result of a professional design by qualified naval architects. We carefully keep a low centre of gravity in both our cabin and hull designs to ensure exceptional stability, whether at rest or underway in varying sea conditions. Every curve, angle, and proportion is professionally developed to guarantee the boat not only looks exceptional but is structurally sound and built the right way from the ground up. Combining rugged capability with a refined, purpose-built aesthetic.
What makes White Pointer Boats different from other boats?
White Pointer Boats are handcrafted to commercial standards with a proven non-pounding hull design featuring a unique compound curve. We focus on performance, strength, and comfort in all sea conditions—no shortcuts, just serious quality.
Can White Pointer Boats come with certification?
Yes, We’ve been building to Lloyd's Register Certification standards for over 30 years. Several of our boats have entered survey under these standards, and all our designs follow that same rigorous approach.
Are White Pointer Boats suitable for recreational or commercial use?
Both. Our boats are designed for hardcore recreational fishos and commercial operators alike. Many of our builds go into survey and meet Lloyd’s Certification standards.
How does the hull design improve the ride?
White Pointer's non-pounding hull uses a compound curve design that cuts through chop and disperses pressure across the hull. This results in a smoother, and more stable ride.
Can I customize my White Pointer Boat?
Yes. Every White Pointer is made to order and fully customizable—from layout and seating to electronics, storage, and finishes. We work closely with you to build a boat that suits your exact needs.
What’s the typical build time for a boat?
Build time varies depending on size and spec, but typically ranges from 3 to 7 months. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during the quoting process.
