MAC BOATS

FAST. LONG-LASTING. SMOOTH.

MAC Boats ® first started business in Tauranga New Zealand in 1986 originally designed by Gary MacDougall. This is how the name MAC originated. The first boat was a polyethylene 2.1 metre dinghy. This dinghy was a great success with national sales and exports to Japan, Canada, U.S.A and Australia. Due to the success a 3.4 metre boat was introduced into the range. Both of these boats are still being sold some 20 years later.
