MetalCraft Marine Kingfisher Series Patrol Boats

The Kingfisher/Umiak production series has been in production since 1989. Major upgrades were incorporated into the design and construction process (copyright 1994). These improvements have proven to be incredibly successful and a major breakthrough in Naval Architecture. Through this, MCM developed a much stronger and lighter hull than through conventional construction by increasing the thickness of the plate and frame while reducing frame spacing and thickness.

The by-product of this lighter/stronger hull is significant. It requires less horsepower and fuel to drive it and has a much higher cargo capacity. It can achieve very high speeds due to reduced hull flex. In terms of strength, the boat is amazing. We have used the boat in 3” of ice, and it can be regularly beached onto rocky shores or cement ramps. To better facilitate this we have incorporated a standard heavy duty grounding bar/keelson which provides significant protection for the hull as well as providing much greater directional stability for the craft. Since 1994 we have produced 131 Kingfishers. Most operate in very harsh environments.

The Kingfisher is offered on our Government GSA Federal Supply Schedule. Contract NO. GS07F0084J.
