2026 Princecraft Sport 188

Your family is full of energy and loves new adventures, and so should your boat. The Sport series has been crafted to answer the call.

H36 Aluminum

We believe construction materials must adhere to high standards of resilience, performance, and durability to deliver real enjoyment and nautical perfection.

With 70 years of experience, navigation, and innovation under our belt, we are the only manufacturer that crafts every inch of its hulls from H36 aluminum.

Given we use H36 aluminum, it's not surprising to see our boats on the water 25 years after they were initially manufactured. Their exceptional durability and resilience mean you can approach any shore and navigate over rocky bottoms without any fear of scratches and dents.

H36 aluminum, the hallmark of Princecraft®.
