Core offering

Moose Boats designs and manufactures custom aluminum catamaran and monohull boats (M1, M2, M3 platforms, 34-46 feet) for government agencies and commercial operators. Each vessel is fully mission-customizable for law enforcement patrol, fire and rescue, military, and commercial/industrial work boat applications, with diesel waterjet or outboard propulsion. The company operates from a 5-acre shipyard and dry dock on Mare Island in Vallejo, California.

Product overview

Moose Boats, LLC is a custom aluminum boat builder specializing in diesel-powered catamarans and monohulls for professional maritime applications. The company produces three core boat models: the M1 (44-46 foot diesel waterjet catamaran), M2 (35-38 foot diesel/outboard catamaran), and M3 (34-36 foot outboard monohull). All models are fully customizable and built to order for specific mission requirements. These hull platforms are configured into three primary boat type applications: Fire & Rescue Boats for emergency response and firefighting, Patrol Boats for law enforcement and harbor security, and Work Boats for commercial applications including dive operations, oil spill response, research, and cargo transport. The company operates from a 5-acre shipyard facility on Mare Island in Vallejo, California.
