Offshore Marine Services moves boats offshore, from New Zealand to Fiji, Australia and across the South Pacific, and handles the Cat 1 and IVC compliance that lets a boat leave legally. Their website sat on Shopify, a platform built for selling products rather than explaining a specialist service run by three experienced skippers and engineers.
A site that shows owners their boat is in safe hands. It needed to explain each service clearly, introduce the people behind the business, and turn interest into a quote request that gives the crew what they need to know about the boat and the passage.
Designed in-house, built for the open ocean.
We designed the site in-house around the thing that sells a passage best: the ocean itself. Full-width photography from their own trips, calm typography and a subtle nautical chart texture set the tone, and our development team built it in WordPress with Elementor so it is easy to keep up to date.
International voyages, safety and compliance, and vessel management each have their own page, and the crew page introduces the three founders. We moved the site off Shopify and the domain over to Cloudflare, taking care to leave their email set-up exactly as it was.
Ready for the long haul.
The site went live in September 2026 with page titles and descriptions, alt text on every image, a share preview for every page and Cloudflare protection in place from day one. The quote form asks about the boat, the destination and the timing up front, so the first conversation is a useful one.
We also wrote the team a plain-English guide so they can make their own everyday changes.
