Genesis 335 Targa - Fully Repowered, Extensively Rebuilt & Ready for Her Next Adventure
A Rare Opportunity to own One of New Zealand's Most Iconic Sports Cruisers - Reimagined
If you know Genesis boats, you already understand how special this opportunity is.
The Genesis 335 Targa 2002 is one of the most highly sought-after Kiwi-built sports cruisers ever produced. Designed and built in New Zealand for New Zealand and Australian conditions, the Genesis range developed a legendary reputation for offshore capability, sea-keeping performance, practicality and versatility.
This is not simply a boat sale. This Genesis 335 Targa has been comprehensively transformed.
This is an opportunity to acquire a Genesis 335 that has undergone an extraordinary transformation, with approximately $324,000 invested in upgrades and improvements alone in 2025.
The owners genuinely love this boat. The level of investment and care clearly reflects that. However, the reality is that life moves on, and we have reached a stage where a slower style of boating better suits our future plans.
For the next owner, all the major work has already been done.
Turn the key, untie the ropes and enjoy.

Why This Genesis Stands Apart
Most Genesis 335s are now over twenty years old.
Very few have received this level of investment.
Fewer still have undergone a complete Volvo Penta repower with modern joystick controls, electronic steering, Garmin electronics, glass cockpit integration, electrical refurbishment, mechanical upgrades, waterproofing works and hull restoration.
The age of the hull becomes largely irrelevant when so many of the major systems have already been modernised, upgraded or replaced.
The result is one of New Zealand's most iconic offshore sports cruisers paired with modern technology, modern drivability and substantial recent investment.

The Hard Work Has Been Done
This vessel represents an opportunity to step into a legendary Genesis platform without facing the years of upgrades, maintenance and major expenditure that many owners eventually encounter.
The hull is proven.
The layout is timeless.
The technology is modern.
The investment has already been made.
The next owner simply gets to enjoy it.
Serious enquiries only. Inspection will impress.
