Fishing skiffs, pontoons, ski boats, sailboats, center consoles, cabin cruisers and large yachts all come from the builders gathered here. Boat manufacturing, as this page uses the term, means companies that design and build hulls and complete boats. Hulls are commonly fiberglass, aluminum or wood, and each material trades off weight, durability and upkeep in its own way.
Where the boat will run shapes almost everything else. Fresh or salt water, sheltered lakes or open coastline, day trips or nights aboard: each points toward different hull shapes and sizes. After that, buyers tend to compare build quality, engine options and whether rigging happens at the factory or at the dealer. Ask about hull and component warranties, how large the dealer and service network is, and whether replacement parts are easy to get. Trailer fit and storage needs can settle a close call.
Builders below are listed by company name, most linked to their own sites. A builder’s place on the page says nothing about quality, and inclusion is not an endorsement, so talk to each one about current models before deciding. If your company builds boats and is not shown, or your entry is out of date, you can request a listing or a correction.
