The marker boats behind the world's fastest racing

Can marker boats be shipped between venues?
Yes. The pods unbolt and reassemble, so a fleet can be packed down and shipped to the next venue.
Can we have them in our club colours?
Pods come in black, grey, yellow, blue, green, magenta, orange, camo or a custom colour.
Do you supply marinas?
Yes. Float Pod jetties, work barges and service pontoons. Tell us the layout and we'll quote.
