HDPE boats

MAKO Marine Africa has built a range of commercial and military HDPE boats over the last decade

The MAKO commercial and military HDPE boats (High Density Polyethylene) are fabricated primarily for use in the Offshore and Marine Construction environments, Oil & Gas industry, and for military use.

MAKO’S range of HDPE boats were developed as a replacement to conventional RHIBS due to their virtually indestructible low maintenance HDPE hulls specifically designed to survive in these harsh commercial environments.
Our craft are supplied with petrol outboards or inboard diesel motors and our inboard versions can be supplied with water jet drive or Z-drive (stern drive) systems.

  • Resistant to chemicals.
  • No corrosion.
  • No aging process.
  • Much higher lifecycle.
  • Easy to clean. Water and dirt repellent.
  • High UV Resistance.
  • Excellent impact resistance because it is ductile.
  • Can be easily repaired by relatively unskilled staff.
  • Do not require painting or any care.

MAKO Craft hulls require minimal maintenance and can be easily repaired.
