Mako Africa has been based in Cape Town, South Africa since 1991. The owner, Mark Louw, started racing inflatable boats at a young age and became South African Champion (1991 & 1992) and The Trans Agulhas (“Toughest boat race in the world”) Champion (1991 & 1992).
The very successful of Mako boat designs have evolved out of the design and fully inflatable boat manufacturer, a field where it collected many highly acclaimed awards, both on and off the water. The company has grown consistently over this period and has enjoyed an ongoing and enviable reputation for design, innovation, product quality and performance.
Mako now specializes in the supply of Naval, security and patrol vessels into Africa and Commercial vessels that are bespoke built to clients requirements and specifications. All of our products are built using the best available materials imported from the world suppliers. All of our materials are immensely strong, wear resistant, waterproof and immune to the hazards of sunlight, ozone fuel, oil, acids and contaminants.
