Some People Talk A Good Ship.

That's The Swiftships Difference.

Some shipbuilders will tell you they're the world's largest. Or that they can build a particular design better than anyone else. Or even that their conveniently located repair facilities can deliver instant service at the best price on the coast.

You've heard it all.

So, at Swiftships, we're not going to tell you how wonderful we are. Instead, we're going to show you, first hand, an important difference every Swiftships boat delivers. In performance. In dura- bility. In fuel economy. In versatility.

In support after the sale.

Experience Gives Us An Edge.

The aluminum craftsmen, the very ones who built the first aluminum Coast Guard Certified vessel in 1957, are still working for us. They're turning out the patrol boats, crewboats, supply boats, ferries, steel utility boats, high speed models and a variety of special use vessels.

And there's no secret to the reason they're doing it so well. It's experience plain and simple.

Swiftships builds more aluminum vessels over 100 feet than any shipyard in the world.
