About Us: The Story Behind Sailfish Catamarans

“If there’s a single ounce of the ol’ briny in your blood, the mere mention of Australia’s own Sailfish Catamarans should get you salivating!” – John Willis, Trailer Boat Australasia

Since bursting onto the Australian boating scene in 1993, Sailfish Catamarans has grown from a small local operation to one of the country’s leading marine manufacturers. With aluminium twin-hull designs that impressed sportsfishers, divers, and adventurers alike, Sailfish has spent 30 years perfecting boats that are stable, spacious, and towable, yet weigh far less than equivalent fibreglass vessels.

Founder, Darren Foster started building aluminium catamarans in 1993 from a small factory in Alstonville, NSW.

Today, we have built over 600 custom-made boats, employ over 20 tradespeople and apprentices and have developed a purpose-built factory which includes seven boat-building bays, a spray painting booth, trailer building bay and fit-up areas for turnkey packages.

And while recreational boats dominate, Sailfish has also delivered nearly 100 Commercial Series vessels for government, rescue, and marine service applications, plus exports to the USA, PNG, Russia, and New Zealand.

Award Winning Designs

Sailfish Catamarans are celebrated for smart layouts, spacious designs, and innovative craftsmanship. Strong repeat business and high resale value show the quality our owners trust. Success has been further recognised by industry peers with the Canyon Master, S7 and S8 models both invited to the finals of Trade A Boat Magazine, Australia’s Greatest Boats awards for 3 years running, with the S7 taking out the Aluminium Award for 2015 and S8 in 2016. Sailfish are the only manufacturer to have won this award twice in the history of the competition. These awards concluded in 2017

Innovation

The new Hydroflow GEN 3 hull offers unmatched efficiency, stability and a silky offshore ride. Increased hull length has added a significant amount of buoyancy to the stern, allowing for increased hole shot performance and along with wider running planks, redesigned chine sections and an improved streamline tunnel all adds up to improved economy, increased hull lift and the ability to plane at lower RPM. This innovation ensures our Hydroflow Gen 3 hull will outperform any aluminium or fibreglass monohull. Hyperlink
