honoring maritime tradition

The Maritime design originated with company founder Paul Hureau. A graduate of Massachusetts Maritime Academy and a retired Coast Guard Captain, Paul spent years with Boston Whaler, and was instrumental in the design and testing of patrol and rescue boats that saw service around the world. Those experiences had a strong influence of the hull shape, durability and seaworthiness of the Maritime design.

Today Maritime boats are built in New Hampshire by Chislett's Boating and Design. We are a family owned and operated boat builder, building Maritime, Noreast as well as boats for other well known builders. Maritime founders Paul Hureau and Bev Brown's original concepts of simplicity, fuel efficiency and continued emphasis on function over form from which created there first skiff in 1991 still guide the company today. Our team of dedicated employees and craftsmen are proud of the boats we build and continue to build each boat to the same standard that Maritime was founded on.
