A BIT OF HISTORY SeaLink, one of New Zealand’s largest privately-owned ferry companies, started out as Subritzky Shipping. The Subritzky Group also owned Gulf Trans Ltd (1989), which serviced Great Barrier Island and Waiheke Freight. Subritzky Shipping started in 1960 providing essential services in the Hauraki Gulf. The Subritzky family has a long history of shipping in New Zealand one of their first vessels was the Jane Gifford now moored at the National Maritime Museum.
In September 2004, Subritzky was acquired by Kangaroo Island SeaLink, a leading South Australian tourism company. The company moved into tourism in September 2005 with the launch of a comprehensive holiday programme for Waiheke and Great Barrier islands, a strategy was designed to align the company with its Australian owners; to capitalize on the reputation of the SeaLink name and to maximize the results of the company’s international marketing programme.
In addition to its passenger and tourism operations, SeaLink provides vehicle transport and freight services to Rangitoto, Motutapu, Rakino, Motuihe and Kawau islands.
SeaLink achieved Qualmark accreditation in 2005, demonstrating the company's commitment to providing quality services.
