For over a hundred years, Hacker-Crafts have been hand-built in America--one at a time--by some of the world's finest boat building craftsmen. Our master craftsmen toil thousands of hours over every Hacker--always sanding one more time, or applying another coat of varnish to ensure the ultimate mirror finish. Our designs--carrying the Hacker Legacy--provide the ultimate ride, but our precision and attention to detail deliver a true classic that demands admiration.

Our legacy is that of John L. Hacker [1877-1961]--the unchallenged preeminent naval architect of mahogany pleasure crafts of the last century. Nearly fifty years after his death, the mere mention of his name evokes memories of days of innocence and long summers in the golden age of classic mahogany boats His boats still ply along the most beautiful waters on earth. Boats that demand immediate attention and admiration. From captains of industry to celebrities and racers--a handcrafted Hacker was the ideal. And remains so today. His designs would easily make a who's who list of the greatest mahogany boats ever built. Pardon Me. Thunderbird. El Largarto. Bootlegger. Peerless. Dolphin. Kitty Hawk. Belle Isle Bear Cats. My Sweetie. To name a few.
