Business Details

Founded by industry veterans Paul Hureau & Bev Brown in 1991, Maritime Skiff was built on the concept of simple, low horsepower, fuel efficient boats that demonstrate tremendous sea-keeping capabilities. Time spent on the boats quickly shows how Paul’s & Bev’s combined 60 years of marine experience, including 18 years with Boston Whaler, has evolved into the Maritime Advantage, where the continual emphasis on function over form still prevails. Today, the Maritime boating tradition continues under the name of Maritime Marine, LLC. For much of Maritime’s history, the all-important fiberglass hulls, decks, & other components have been built & assembled in Maine, where boatbuilding craftsmanship & strong work ethic have a rich history. As Maritime transitioned from the smaller, simple, open-concept "skiffs" to more sophisticated center console, center cabin, & cuddy cabin designs, this manufacturing & assembly role moved to Kenway Corporation, a company who specializes in custom composite design & manufacturing. When the Hureaus announced their plans to retire, the principals of Kenway realized the tremendous opportunity, purchased Maritime Skiff, & moved the entire operation to Augusta, Maine.
