Marinette Yacht

Marinette Yacht

Marinette yachts were a line of motor yachts built by Aluminum Cruisers Inc in Standiford Field, Kentucky from 1954 to 1991. Manufacturing was suspended due to recession and the luxury tax. The manufacturing rights were purchased by the individual John Althouse with the intention of restarting production. No new boats are currently manufactured, only some boats are being built on a custom basis.

The yachts varied in length from 26 to 44 feet[1], and included express, sport fisherman, sedan and dual cabin models on a semi-planing hull. The series was made of welded aluminum.

Most Marinettes today are used on inland rivers and lakes. They are, due to their light weight, relatively shallow chine angle, flat transom and broad beam, relatively fast and economical for boats of their size.
