Aluminum Commercial Boats

Building superior, purpose built, aluminum commercial boats for over thirty years.

Northwind Marine’s commercial boats are built on our Extreme Class RIB and Hybrid Foam Collar RIB and the Reliance or Argus Class mono-hull platforms and range in length from 16- to 42-feet.

Like its sister, the Argus Class, Northwind Marine’s Reliance Class Hull is one of the most rugged mono-hull platforms on the market. The design of this hull makes it possible to build a wide variety of commercial boat configurations that are not only extremely stable and fast, but will withstand just about everything that man and the elements can deliver.

Superior Welding

Using the Metal Inert Gas system, all hulls are welded to AWS (American Welding Standards) practices for aluminum boat construction.

Substantial Strength

The keel assemblies are cut from 3/8-inch alloy #5086, which produces substantial strength as the centerline structural member.

Impact Resistant

The hulls are strain-hardened for impact resistance.

Floatation Foam

The hull voids are filled with closed cell USCG certified floatation foam.
