Why Sea Storm Pairs with Futura Trailers
Salt, surf beaches, shallow ramps — New Zealand is tough on gear. That’s why we only recommend trailers built to handle it. Meet our preferred trailer partner, Futura.
At Sea Storm, we don’t just think about the boat — we think about the whole experience, from your driveway to the water and back again. That’s why every Sea Storm comes recommended with a Futura trailer. When you’re investing in a premium poly boat built to last a lifetime, it only makes sense to pair it with a trailer engineered to the same standard.
Futura Trailers are proudly designed and manufactured right here in New Zealand, built specifically for our coastal conditions — the salt, the surf beaches, the shallow ramps. Where galvanised steel trailers rust and corrode, Futura’s fully anodised aluminium construction simply doesn’t. No painting, no rust treatment, no watching your trailer deteriorate at the boat ramp while you’re still pulling on your waders.
Futura Series 3 — Made for the Sea Storm 12
The Futura Series 3 is the perfect match for the Sea Storm 12. Handling loads up to 520kg on a 650kg GVM chassis, it’s a compact, no-fuss trailer that complements the lightweight nature of the 12 perfectly. The polypropylene bunk system cradles your hull securely during launch and retrieval — particularly handy in a cross current — while the lightweight aluminium frame keeps your tow vehicle working less and your fuel bill lower.

Futura Series 4 — Made for the Sea Storm 14 and 17
The Futura Series 4 steps things up for the Sea Storm 14. With a chassis accommodating boats up to 4.75 metres and a 750kg GVM, it’s built to handle the 14 with confidence. Same premium aluminium construction, same easy launching — just scaled up to match.

Built to Match, Not Just Carry
Both trailers share the same hallmarks that make them worthy of a Sea Storm boat: integrated LED lighting sealed within the chassis (no exposed wiring to corrode or snag), high-performance 8-ply light truck tyres proven across millions of kilometres of New Zealand roads, and marine-grade alloy wheels with water release channels designed to cope with every saltwater dunking.
The result is a rig that looks the part and performs every time. Premium boats deserve premium trailers — and that’s exactly what Futura delivers.
