🗺️ What You’ll See at the Tides Out Maps Booth
🪵 Our Best-Selling Coastal Maps on Display
You’ll get to see (and touch) a full spread of our handcrafted bathymetric maps, including:
Each map is laser-engraved into plywood with layered depth, hand-assembled with care, and designed to reflect the real underwater terrain of Aotearoa’s coastlines.
✍️ Personalise Your Own Piece of the Ocean
Talk to us at the booth about:
-
Adding a bespoke addition (like a name, message, or location marker)
-
Creating a map of a specific beach, reef, or harbour that matters to you
-
Gifting a map for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, or Father's Day

🧭 Why We Love Being at Hutchwilco
Hutchwilco brings together boaties, fishers, divers, beachcombers, map nerds, and memory makers—aka, our kind of people.
We started Tides Out Maps to celebrate the personal stories connected to coastlines, and this show is where we get to hear them straight from the source:
-
The grandfather teaching his mokopuna how to fish
-
The couple who got engaged on the water
-
The diver mapping their favourite reef
-
The family returning to the same bay every summer
These moments are why we make what we make—and we can’t wait to hear yours.
