Founded in 1978, Albemarle builds boats with a total range of abilities: Rideability. Fishability. Dependability. Affordability. Enjoyability. It is these characteristics and our boats' history of dependability and high resale value give us the confidence to offer one of the industry's best 10-year, transferable limited hull warranty. We've made tremendous strides in the production of our boats, thanks to advancements in technology. Tougher gelcoats along with improved equipment for laying up hulls, our boats are the best they've ever been. From our hand-laid, classic design hull with its fiberglass encapsulated, marine-grade plywood stringer system, to our dramatic deadrise from stem to stern, every Albemarle embodies our commitment to quality.
