Join Pete—CNC Marine’s business owner, and naval architect—as he and the team reflect on how far the brand has come and where it’s headed next.

They revisit the early days of working out of sheds and delivering only a handful of designs, to now producing double-digit model outputs annually and offering bespoke design flexibility few others can match. The conversation covers everything from the COVID boom and aluminium price shocks to hard lessons learned about business systems, customer experience, and team resilience.

You’ll hear how builder relationships have always been at the core of CNC’s growth, and why Pete believes it takes both a great designer and a great fabricator to bring a boat to life. The team also shares what excites them most about the next chapter—from international expansion to evolving boat design trends like oversized engines, gear-loaded cabins, and parasail-equipped power cats.

Whether you’re a DIY builder, a commercial operator, or just curious about how small boats get smartly designed—this episode is full of honest insights, good laughs, and a whole lot of love for boats.
