Inside CNC Marine: The Team, The Banter, and the Boats

If you’ve followed CNC Marine for a while, you know we build hard-core aluminium plate boat kits for all kinds of fishos, adventurers, DIY legends, and commercial operators. But who’s behind the designs? Who are the brains behind the hulls? And what actually happens inside CNC HQ?

This episode of the CNC Marine Podcast peels back the layers and takes you inside the office. Marsh and Liam hit pause on the usual tech talk and give listeners a laid-back chat about the people who make CNC tick.

We’re talking:

• Design team dynamics including who’s a stickler for naming conventions, who’s still arguing over car choices, and who never replies to job applications on time.

• How our boats are really designed with constant feedback from builders, fishos, and everyday users, shaping everything from deck layouts to trailer designs.

• Culture and chaos yes, we have two Christmas parties a year, and yes, there’s a staff handbook with passive-aggressive post-it notes.

• Liam’s journey from surf-bum uni student to head of hull development.

• What’s next from 7.5m plum-bow builds to new survey-ready walkaround cabs and some exciting collaborations brewing in the US.

If you’re curious about the real humans behind CNC Marine – their quirks, stories, and how they pull together to build some of the toughest boats in the country – this is your episode.
