CNC MARINE

Why us

Build your boat life balance

We professionally design the best aluminium boat kits, optimised for performance, usefulness, and build ability — plus all the information you need to know how to make your own boat.

Established in 2005, CNC Marine is a Brisbane-based company specialising in recreational kit boats. Our name reflects our commitment to utilising CNC technology in the design and construction of our boats.

CNC, short for Computer Numeric Control, is a widely used technology in various industries. By employing computer code to control machines like lathes, milling machines, and cutters, we minimise human error, enhance precision, and increase efficiency. This technology significantly reduces labour costs and material wastage, particularly for complex tasks.

Integrating CNC technology into boat building allows us to achieve greater accuracy, lower labour costs, and minimise material waste. As a result, we’re a stand out aluminium boat manufacturer offering competitively priced kits — without compromising quality.

Choosing the perfect boat for your needs

At the beginning of your journey, we’ll collaborate with you to discuss the pros and cons of different boat options. We’ll consider your specific usage requirements, budget constraints, and location for building the perfect boat for your wants and needs.

Making personalised adjustments

We strive to provide the exact kit you’re looking for. If you’re considering a modification, chances are we’ve already thought of it and can offer it to you at no extra cost. Whenever we add charges, we keep your budget in mind, ensuring personalised adjustments cost less than you’d expect.

Finding a skilled boat builder

We have established partnerships with reputable boat builders across Australia and across the world. If you’re in need of a reliable builder to build your own aluminium boat kit, we can direct you to someone we know and trust.

Builder's tips and resources

Our build wiki is continuously updated with new and valuable information. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, simply ask us! We’ll do our best to include it and provide the guidance you need, including specifics, like how to design your own fishing boat, or finding boats for bespoke needs.
