Always recognised for being innovative, For nearly 40 years Carson designs have pushed the boundaries to improve the breed producing boats of outstanding performance and practical design. Many unique design features were industry firsts and quickly copied by others. Our gallery shows many examples including several models built in collaboration with other manufacturers.
In addition to boats other products now compliment the Carson line up. These include a range of shock mitigation seats to suit all types of fast boats, a unique inflatable rescue catamaran, the Carson 4XR, professional boat crew drysuits and soon a range of innovative marine drives. We also have a special trailer currently under development. The concept is designed to make towing heavy boats a safer, more convenient and easier experience.
Custom design projects can also be produced for commercial or private customers.
