Nautique Boats

The shipyard began operations in 1924 and was initially called the Florida Variety Boat Company. According to the shipyard itself, it was the first company in the United States to transport boats on trailers. The founder of the company, W.K. Meloon, believed that he was building practical boats, so in 1936 he renamed the company Correct Craft, and radio advertising of the time said that these boats were as comfortable as “the right heels for your shoes.” In the 1940s, the company began producing relatively large cruise boats, and the shipyard's products gained popularity. During World War II, Eisenhower ordered 400 boats from the company, which had to be built in 15 days. And, surprisingly, Correct Craft completed the task in record time, and the company's reputation continued to grow. In the late 1940s, the shipyard began producing mahogany motorboats, and in the 1950s, it began to build swimming platforms into the hull of its boats, considering this to be its own innovation. In 1961, the company produced its first boat made of fiberglass. In fact, the 19-foot Ski Nautique water ski towboat was invented by Leo Benz - he proposed a project for a Ski Nautique sports boat, and the company began producing it. Development in the sports direction went quickly, and in the 1970s, the shipyard acquired its own water ski team. In the 1990s, wakeboard models appeared, and the company became one of the world leaders in the towing boat segment.

Nautique Boat is headquartered and manufactured in Orlando, Florida. The company has a 20,000 square meter production base and an extensive dealer network and customer service points.

The company produces high-speed sports boats for water sports and active recreation on the water in hulls of 20-25 feet long made of glass and carbon composite. The company offers an extensive list of equipment, which the customer can select in the online configurator on the company's website, creating an individual boat exactly according to his wishes.
