25 YEARS ON
Sailfish has a distinguished history
forged on terrific products built by
professional tradespeople with highly
qualified and friendly staff that present
a “customer comes first” attitude. The
manufacturing premises has grown
considerably to reflect the Sailfish
success. Finally, after three moves each
to larger premises, Sailfish built its
own custom boat factory in 2000 that
includes seven boatbuilding bays, a
spray painting booth, trailer building
bay and two fit-up bays to deliver
turnkey packages.
The company has always enjoyed
the benefits of proper training and
continue to employ apprentices of
which three have been presented
with state awards. Sailfish says, “Our
success is dependent on the teamwork
that exists in our company and we will
continue to cultivate the highest levels
of ethical standards and workmanship
within our workplace.
“The aim of our business is to ensure
a professionally custom built, high-
quality range of aluminium power


catamarans for the leisure, commercial
and rescue boating markets.”

SUCCESS INDEED
Sailfish’s recognition started as far
back as 1995 when it won a business
award hosted by the Ballina Shire.
The Sailfish team has met stringent
standards required by government
and maritime authorities, professional
fishermen, safety and rescue bodies as
well as a large number of pleasure craft
owners and have been highly awarded
as market leaders by professional
boating journalists and qualified
commentators.
Success can also be quantified by
the high volume of repeat business
it enjoys with satisfied customers
often returning to update or upsize.
Premium products also reflect high
retainment value with Sailfish packages
being eagerly sort after on the second-
hand market.
To quote Sailfish, “Sailfish
Catamarans will always continue to be
market leaders, not market followers.
Our philosophy is to build quality boats
that not only meet but exceed our
customers’ expectations.”

Success has been further recognised
by industry peers with both the Canyon
Master, S7 and S8 models both invited
to the finals of Trade A Boat Magazine
Australia’s Greatest Boats awards for
three years running, with the S7 taking
out the Aluminium Award for 2015
and S8 in 2016. Sailfish is the only
manufacturer to have won this award
twice in the history of the competition.

THE FUTURE
The Sailfish future is here and now,

performance, amazing efficiency,
maximum stability plus lightning-fast
