Camano Marine

Camano Marine is a company known for manufacturing a line of trawler-style boats suited for both short coastal cruises and long-term adventuring. Founded with the aim of creating a practical, reliable, and easily handled vessel, Camano Marine has developed a reputation for its well-designed and solidly built boats.

One of the standout features of Camano boats is their unique hull design, often referred to as the "Keelform" hull. This design combines aspects of both a displacement hull and a planing hull, delivering a smooth ride and excellent fuel efficiency. It's particularly advantageous for those who want the range and economy of a displacement hull but with better performance and speed.

The boats are also known for their quality craftsmanship and thoughtful layouts, often featuring spacious interiors, ample storage, and user-friendly controls. These vessels are designed to be manageable by a small crew or even a single person, making them popular among seasoned mariners and newcomers alike.

Historically, Camano Marine operated out of British Columbia, Canada, and the brand has a strong following in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. While the company has undergone changes in ownership over years, the core principles of quality, reliability, and practicality have remained the cornerstone of its products.

Owners of Camano boats often praise the vessels for their durability, ease of maintenance, and versatility. Whether used for leisurely weekend trips, long-range cruising, or even as liveaboard vessels, Camano boats have earned a loyal customer base and strong resale values in the pre-owned market.

Washington Governor Bob Ferguson announced he has selected the $714.5 million bid from Florida-based Eastern Shipbuilding Group to build three new 160-vehicle hybrid-electric ferries. “We’re restoring domestic service to pre-pandemic levels years ahead of schedule, improving crew retention, and soon will bring our first hybrid-electric vessel into service,” Governor Ferguson said. “After careful consideration and conversations with legislative leaders, I believe Eastern is the best option to build these critically important vessels at a fair cost to our taxpayers.
