Building Premium
Quality Custom
Aluminum Boats
Since 1985
EagleCraft was founded in Campbell River, in 1985, a prime market for custom aluminum boat manufacturing and quickly became recognized as a premium water taxi builder. In the 1980’s we were building mainly sport fishing lodge boats, passenger vessels, work boats and patrol boats. Our proven commercial heritage has allowed us to emerge as a premium custom builder in the recreational segment.

Our Design / Build Standards
Certainly the waters of northern Vancouver Island have a reputation for being some of the roughest waters on the West Coast. Mountain out flow winds funnel down inlets and channels and when they meet opposing tides they can set up treacherous sea conditions.
It is in these waters that commercial operators demanded reliable seaworthy vessels to operate year round – ferrying passengers and supplies to remote locations.
Our commercial platform is a quality hull that was built and designed for 3,000 hours annually, with the ability to run over logs and beach without damage to the hull or equipment.
Our aluminum vessels are constructed to take the harshest of weather conditions and be able to stand up in emergency situations. Commercial operators use our vessels for their daily business as Patrol Boats, Water Taxis, Crew Boats, and work boats.
There is no difference in the construction of our rugged commercial hulls and our finely finished pleasure vessels.
If you have traveled on the waters around Vancouver Island, you get to appreciate; Seaworthiness, Durability, Dependability, Reliability and Performance of EagleCraft Aluminum Boats.
For nearly three decades EagleCraft boats have been meeting that demand. With over 800 vessels operating on the coast, EagleCraft has earned an enviable reputation for quality construction and reliability. Now – that same heavy-duty quality, design, construction, durability, and reliability is available to the discerning recreational vessel operator in the EagleCraft range of Cruisers.
Why Aluminum Boats?
If you have traveled on the waters around Vancouver Island, you may have seen many aluminum vessels going about their business as water taxis, crewboats, and even as inter-island school buses.
Commercial operators have known the benefits of aluminum for a long time. Its outstanding qualities in strength, seaworthiness, durability, ease of maintenance and as a long term sound investment have made it the material of choice for those who earn their living on the water. Now many recreational boaters are also realising the benefits.
- With over 20 years experience and 800+ vessels built, EagleCraft introduces the new Aluminum Recreational Coastal Cruisers.
- Our pleasure craft meet all recreational boating needs without compromising on the integrity, durability, strength, or seaworthiness seen in our commercial vessels.
- Our rugged commercial hulls and finely finished pleasure vessels share the same construction standards.
- Designed to withstand harsh weather and emergency situations
