Our military clients include the United States Marines, Navy, Coast Guard, Army, and over 60 partner nation military forces across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. In addition to ongoing fleet construction for our fighting forces, each week Metal Shark delivers new vessels to state, local, and municipal law enforcement and fire rescue customers, with well over 2,000 vessels now in service worldwide.

Metal Shark is an engineering-centric, customer-focused company with a large in-house team of naval architects and marine engineers. We continually evolve our vessels by listening to our customers and solving their challenges through innovative solutions. We offer a full portfolio of globally proven hullforms including Defiant monohull pilothouse vessels, Endurance catamarans, Fearless stepped-bottom high-performance craft, Relentless collared center consoles, and Courageous workboats. Each of these is 100% digitally designed and optimized for the specific mission profiles of our military and first responder customers.

While newcomers are only now waking up to the possibilities of autonomous vessel technology, Metal Shark has been active in the unmanned space for years, having built and delivered well over 400 unmanned and remote operated craft. Metal Shark stands alone in the industry, a trusted boat builder with decades of real-world, hands-on, boat building know how, also boasting nearly a decade of experience in the integration of unmanned systems.  Metal Shark’s proprietary Shark Tech autonomous technology stack enables unmanned, human-in-the-loop operation and supports interface with multiple other COLREGS, ATR, and AI software packages. This proven, fully-functional system is available today and may be integrated into any model in Metal Shark’s lineup.

Proudly 100% American-made, each Metal Shark is cut, welded, rigged, and tested in the USA. With two fully self-contained boat building facilities in Louisiana and an R&D center in Alabama, Metal Shark’s 400+ employees produce over 100 boats per year, with a proud and proven track record of high quality, on-time deliveries.
