Nautique Boats

Nautique, founded in 1925 by W.C. Melon, is based in central Florida and holds the distinction of being one of the world's oldest continually operational boat manufacturers.

Nautique's history intersects with American history at several points. During World War II, for example, General Eisenhower requested the company build approximately 400 boats in just fifteen days. The company developed an innovative production process that enabled them to finish the project in record time.

Today, Nautiqes are known for their elegance, comfort, and versatility, along with sleep automotive styling and family-friendly features from bow to stern.

Nautique's newest model is the Ski Nautique 200 Open Bow, which features a superior field of vision from behind the dashboard, comfortable bow seating, and a tournament seat that can be stowed underneath the observer's seat for easy bow access. Twin saddlebag compartments hold up to six sets of water skis and gear.

Nautique's other top models include the Ski Nautique 200 Closed Bow, the Crossover, and the Super Air Nautique.

Depending on the model, Nautiques retail anywhere from $60,000 to $70,000, not including freight charges, accessories, and relevant sales taxes. Used Nautiques sell as low as $14,500.
