Alukin

What Alukin does

Alukin is a Swedish manufacturer of fully welded aluminum boats, founded in 2010 by boat designer Peter Nikula and headquartered with production in Norrtälje, Roslagen, Sweden. The company builds boats from marine-grade EN-AW 5083 aluminum using a fully welded hull construction methodology, supplemented by its proprietary patented SEAL silane surface treatment system that extends aluminum lifespan and reduces maintenance. Its product portfolio spans four model series: cabin boats (Cabin 770, Cabin 650, SCR 850, WA 950), work boats (CW 750, CW 850, CWA 750, CWA 850), recreational boats (DP 650), and sport fishing boats (Pro Fishing 650, Pro Fishing 750). All boats are delivered fully equipped with outboard motors from Mercury or Suzuki and navigation equipment from Garmin or Simrad, with comfort components from Webasto, Grammer, and Rocas as standard in cabin models.

The company serves two primary customer segments: professional maritime users (commercial operators, search and rescue, maritime services requiring durable year-round boats for harsh Nordic conditions) and active leisure boaters (archipelago, coastal, and sport fishing enthusiasts valuing low-maintenance reliability). Boats are sold through an authorized dealer network spanning Sweden (7 dealers), Norway, Finland, Åland, and Canada (Pride Marine, 8 Ontario locations), with supplementary direct sales via the company website, email, phone, and a webshop for accessories. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, configured per customer requirements. Since 2018, Alukin has operated as a subsidiary of Nimbus Group, a diversified premium boat conglomerate encompassing seven brands (Alukin, Aquador, Edgewater, Falcon, Flipper, Nimbus, Paragon). The company has been recognized with the Praktiskt Båtägande magazine "Rookie of the Year" award (2009) and holds a Bisnode credit rating certificate.
