Latest Launches

As a semi-custom builder of Lifetime Boats, we get requests from both ends of the spectrum from SIMPLISTIC to EXOTIC and many requests in between. We build for you WHAT YOU WANT!


We very recently launched this outstanding 
SeaFoam Green 23 Stuart with single F300 Yamaha and a Full Tower! This forward seating model was built to be its’ owner’s boat of his dreams!
This relatively young owner is a highly experienced saltwater angler as well as an accomplished Marine Artist.

Having lost his best friend and his fishing buddy, his father, unexpectedly a few years ago, this owner had us build a very beautiful and functional lifetime fishing boat in honor of his father. And his mother was in love with the project from Day One!

Built to fish the Lower Chesapeake Bay nearly year round, this boat will experience Cobia to 100 lbs, as well as Bull Redfish, and many other species from Virginia down to the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
Hundreds of communications between him and our staff throughout the build process made sure that no detail was overlooked! Look for more news about this owner and his boat once the spring rolls around!

Just The Finest Bay Boats

Since our last Newsletter we have launched three strikingly special 24 Islamorada Boatworks bay boats.

One of these Morada 24s went to our favorite Keys Fishing Guide – 
Captain Mark Johnson who owns and operates Florida Keys Fun Fishing out of the Angler House Marina in where else? – Islamorada.
This new 24 Morada is Capt. Mark’s 4th Morada and his 2nd Morada 24 with a 2nd Station. His fleet of Moradas are always on the sparkling waters fishing from Sea Trout to Sailfish all in the same day, all in the same boats!

If you are considering having us build for you the finest bay boat on the water – softest, driest, and stable – call Mark for a half day charter and experience in real world conditions how amazing these boats are – and catch some nice fish at the same time!

Buy a boat and we will reimburse you your cost of the charter too!
**************
The second of these three is another eye-popping 2nd Station Islamorada 24, Ice Blue hull with White Deck and a White 350 Mercury Verado.

Another relatively younger owner chose us to build his dreamboat not only due to the reputation of the RIDE of the 24 Morada, but also as he told me several times – due to the personal attention to detail that we provide and a fit and finish second to none!

Outfitted with 3 Livewells, 3 multi-function Garmin displays, and a 12 speaker/3 amp JL Audio system – this 24 Morada is built to fish hard (Sailfish to Snook to Tarpon), and play hard at the same time.
Even his father’s “bad back” gave us the thumbs up after his initial ride across some nasty, wind-blown chop!

Check out the YouTube Latest Launch video:

*************

And finally, the third 24 Morada is also a 2nd Station model, but it is
The FIRST of its’ KIND:
Our very first, Full Carbon Innegra, 24 Morada!!

We will dig deeper into this boat in another Newsletter, but to highlight its’ features:
  • 100% Carbon Innegra construction increasing the already awesome strength of our Resin-Infused boats, while reducing the weight by hundreds of pounds!!
  • Our first custom, Key West styled, surfboard styled, low profile 2nd Station with minimalist approach to the 2nd Station – everything you need and nothing more!
  • A subtle ride sensation of absorbing just the slightest bit more of a wave’s impact than our super soft riding Resin-Infused full fiberglass boat, all the while providing the rock solid, predictable ride that our 24 Morada is known for from New Jersey to Key West to West Texas.
