With over 915 listed boat building companies in the United States alone last year, it can be difficult to keep up with the newer brands that are making a big splash – especially when they’re based out of Canada. We here at New Wire Marine want to let you in on some of the lesser known builders that we think are the reel deal. This post is going to highlight ProJekt Boatworks.

ProJekt Boatworks is the newest builder (that we know of, at least) to hit the marine market. The first glimpse of their 39’ Cat was posted on their instagram just a few weeks ago. This all-aluminum catamaran is bad. freaking. ass. Check it out:

Coming together to create this Canadian crossover are Coastal Craft Yachts and Jasper Marine. Both based in British Columbia, these brands have brought their best assets to the helm in ProJekt Boatworks.

Over the past twenty-five years Coastal Craft has earned a reputation for producing innovative, high quality and finely finished aluminum boats and motor yachts up to 65′. And, since 2017, Jasper Marine has won accolades by producing creative and fresh new design ideas in aluminum boats.
