Wayne McKinley

Wayne McKinley grew up on the end of a fishing rod and a gun. His passion for the outdoors grew into a career and business success.

A fledgling business was formed when Wayne built his first boat for a friend more than 30 years ago.

The business grew quickly and Wayne set up his first boat work yard soon after in Greenmeadows, Napier.

This is where Wayne became one of the first boat builders to pioneer  the aluminium pontoon boat in New Zealand.

From one boat order to another, the volume quickly grew and became too much for one boat builder to handle.
 
Wayne's cousin became the company’s first employee and today Senator now employs a team of 13 boat builders in the Senator factory in Onekawa, Napier.
