Mystic Powerboats

What Mystic Powerboats does

Mystic Powerboats is a privately held U.S. shipbuilder founded in 1996 by John Cosker and headquartered in DeLand, Florida. The company designs and manufactures custom high-performance luxury powerboats — center consoles (M3800, M4200, M5200) and a catamaran (C4000) — from a nearly 100,000-square-foot composite manufacturing facility. Mystic pairs proprietary hull designs (notably its dual-step hull) with Mercury Racing outboard propulsion, and emphasizes Atlantic-Ocean-tested builds with rigorous fit-and-finish standards, achieving performance levels such as 242 mph course-record runs.

The company's product portfolio targets high-net-worth individuals seeking both speed and luxury, with base pricing on new models ranging roughly from $857,000 (M3800) to over $1.2 million (M4200 quad 500R), plus a branded merchandise e-commerce line. Mystic monetizes through direct factory sales (build quotes via website and a national sales manager), an authorized South Florida dealership operated by Angle of Attack Marine, on-water demo experiences co-hosted with Mercury Racing at Grove Harbour Marina, and major-boat-show sales (FLIBS, PBIBS, Miami International). All new units are built to order with multi-year lead times, evidenced by 2026 production being sold out and 2027 build slots being scheduled.

Revenue diversification is limited but evolving: the June 2026 co-production partnership with MARTAC extends Mystic's composite capability into autonomous unmanned surface vehicle (USV) hull manufacturing for defense and allied customers, representing the company's first material move outside consumer luxury boating. The business remains founder-controlled under John Cosker as President/CEO, with no disclosed institutional investors, revenue, or external funding.
