UNIQUE. DURABLE. SAFE.

At Oquawka Boats, we custom make each and every boat to the user's exact needs. We create a wide variety of boats that range from recreational or play boats to survey or working boats. We have listed the different styles we have done but will create your boat to what you want. We are not a cookie cutter company, and we pride our boats on being unique, durable, and safe.

MULTI-PURPOSE BOATS

Do you need a large or small craft that is built to last? We can fabricate a boat to fit your specific needs. Do you need a landing craft, barge or an electrofishing boat? We can build it for you.

DIVE BOATS

Can you picture yourself at the helm of a custom made dive boat? Need diver friendly elements built into your existing boat? We custom make each of our boats, we can incorporate diver friendly access points and storage solutions into our boats or modify an existing boat to your needs.

RECREATION BOATS

A recreational boat is the ultimate weekender that can tackle any lake. We can even match the boat to your truck, not just color; even in small details like making sure your boat and truck fuels from the same side.

WORK BOATS

We can hand-craft boats to tackle the largest and heaviest jobs. Our large boats are built for a myriad of tasks, from hauling a Cat D-9 bulldozer safely from island to island in Wisconsin to hauling 5,000lb anchors for portable campsites in California. No job is too big or small for our boats.

RAVE REVIEWS!

The boat is beautiful! Everyone agrees that it’s a well built boat and it will meet our needs long into the future. Your quality and customer service is so far above and beyond any other vendors I have dealt with. I appreciate your honesty and your quality work. I would recommend your boats to anyone! We have already had interest in the smaller boat you built us from the Coast Guard and the local Fire Company. They both liked the small boat. Wait until they see the landing craft! Thanks again for another great boat! We are the envy of the Division!
