OUR STORY
2025 marked 20 years since we started Makocraft—and what a journey it’s been. From day one, our mission has been clear: to design and build Australian-made boats that deliver unmatched durability, performance, and innovation.
Boating has been my passion since childhood on the Gold Coast, and that love of the water drives everything we do. With over 50 years of industry experience, we craft aluminium boats built to handle Australia’s toughest conditions—perfect for boaties, fishermen, and families alike.
Every Makocraft boat is designed and built right here in Australia, with no compromises on materials or craftsmanship. Our focus? Real value: boats that last, perform exceptionally, and exceed expectations.
Together with my wife Sally, we continue our family tradition of boat building, and 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year—new hulls, innovative designs, and a strong presence at boat shows nationwide.
Whether you’re joining us for the first time or have been part of our journey for years, we can’t wait to share what’s next for Makocraft—and welcome you on board.
