NT POWERSPORTS IS WHERE YOU GO TO CHECK OUT GREAT HORIZON BOATS AND THOSE AWESOME HONDA OUTBOARDS.
In Darwin, at the very heart of Australia’s Northern Territory, the water is as much a part of everyday life as the red earth itself. Fishing isn’t just a pastime here, it’s a lifestyle, and that lifestyle demands boats and engines tough enough to meet the Territory’s unique conditions.
NT Powersports has long been recognised as a key player in the region’s boating industry, with a focus on exceptional customer service, expert local knowledge and quality products that stand up to the harsh Top End environment. Now, the dealership is expanding its horizons—literally—by becoming an authorised dealer for Horizon Boats, while continuing its trusted partnership with Honda Marine.
“We believe in not just selling a boat, but in creating a relationship that extends beyond the purchase,” says Craig, Customer Service Manager at NT Powersports.
This partnership brings together what Top End boaters demand: rugged craftsmanship, reliable engines, and the assurance of local service and support.
Horizon Boats: Built for Australian Conditions
Founded in 1992 by Bob and Christine James, Horizon Boats has grown from a small operation in Burleigh Heads into one of Australia’s most respected aluminium boat builders. The company now produces 84 models across categories including punts, dinghies, runabouts, centre and side consoles, bow riders and cabin boats – each designed and built in Australia for Australian conditions.
Horizon’s focus on durability, safety and innovation makes it an ideal fit for Northern Territory waters. From shallow estuaries to bluewater escapes, Horizon has a hull design to match every environment.
Horizon hull technologies include:
HP Hull Open Boats – delivering performance and value through proven design and construction.
Hydro Lift Hulls – featuring reverse chines, variable deadrise and pressed planing strakes for superior stability and lift.
GRiDcore Plate Boats – incorporating a heavy-duty internal grid structure for maximum strength and rigidity offshore.
From the versatile EasyFisher to serious offshore performers like the Northerner and Scorpion, Horizon’s craftsmanship offers Territory anglers boats that can handle everything from mangrove creeks to coastal waters.
Power and Performance with Honda Marine
NT Powersports’ relationship with Honda Marine continues to deliver on performance, dependability and efficiency. Honda’s advanced four-stroke technology is renowned for quiet operation, low emissions and exceptional fuel economy – features especially valuable in the remote regions of the Top End.
The pairing of Horizon’s aluminium boatbuilding expertise with Honda’s precision-engineered outboards ensures Territory boaters can enjoy a combination of strength, performance and longevity that’s hard to beat. Together, they represent a dependable choice for both recreational fishers and commercial operators.
Confidence on Every Trip
For local anglers, this partnership means more choice, better performance and complete after-sales assurance. Whether chasing barramundi in the rivers, trolling for mackerel offshore, or enjoying family days on the water, NT Powersports now offers tailor-made solutions backed by expert technicians and genuine parts.
“Customer satisfaction is at the core of everything we do,” adds Craig. “We don’t just hand over the keys, we look after our customers for the long term.”
Committed to Community and Sustainability
NT Powersports is more than a retailer; it’s part of the local community. The dealership actively supports conservation initiatives and promotes sustainable fishing practices, aligning with Horizon and Honda’s shared focus on environmentally-responsible manufacturing and fuel-efficient technologies.
By offering products that deliver durability, performance and reduced environmental impact, NT Powersports is helping foster a cleaner, more sustainable future for Northern Territory boating.
Looking Ahead
With its new Horizon Boats dealership and long-standing partnership with Honda Marine, NT Powersports is perfectly positioned to serve the next generation of Territory boaters.
For those ready to explore Darwin Harbour, venture down the Daly, or head offshore from Dundee, the message is clear: NT Powersports now delivers the complete package: Australian-made boats, world-class engines, and genuine local service.
It’s a combination built for the Top End lifestyle, and ready to take you wherever the water leads.
