62 years later…

The passion for boat building runs deep in our family.

The first photo: My grandfather launching the world largest GRP stern trawler, Triton, helping pioneer fibreglass boat building in South Africa back in 1964.

The second photo: Our team at carefully lifts the Invicta 30 open console bound for the USA🇺🇲.

Three generations of passion, skill, and pride in creating vessels built to conquer the seas.

The journey continues.
