All American Marine manufactures the highest quality boats in the industry, and it all starts with a custom yet proven design. Our commitment to building best-in-class vessels continues with our recent contract to build an 84.5’ x 30.7’ for Phillips Cruises and Tours out of Whittier, Alaska.
This innovative new vessel will add to Phillips Cruises’ existing fleet of boats operating in Prince William Sound on daily sightseeing tours. The vessel will be constructed to USCG (US Coast Guard) Subchapter T classification. With a fuel capacity of 1200 gallons, this fuel-efficient design will be assisted by a fixed aluminum hydrofoil, enhancing its speed and stability at high speeds. The propulsion package includes 4x MJP 350X Waterjets powered by 4x Scania DI16 082 engines, rated at 800 mhp. This 150-passenger vessel will be integral to Phillip’s high-speed tour options for visitors to Prince William Sound. The vessel will enhance the onboard customer experience with top-of-the-line amenities and provide improved comfort throughout their journey.
“We knew that All American marine was the best option out there when it came time to add another quality vessel to our fleet, and this project is sure to do just that. The communication during the project scoping, design and initial engineering analysis has been excellent. We are excited to improve our guests’ experiences and keep our company operating efficiently and environmentally friendly. AAM is helping make our long term goals a reality.”

When building a new vessel, coordination between the design firm and the builder is critical, including an immediate feedback mechanism for a seamless and transparent flow of information. Custom builds require a higher level of technical experience, and AAM is committed to employing the highest-skilled craftsmen in the market. This, along with our commitment to integrity and long-standing relationship with Teknicraft Design, allows us to produce the absolute best vessels in their class. Knowing this, we are proud to have multiple builds for a number of our operators, from Puget Sound Express to NOAA and Major Marine Tours, to name a few. We take pride in our performance warranty and commitment to customer service. Our cohesive team is our secret to adding value and building the best boats for our operators. And most importantly, on time and on budget.
All American Marine (AAM) recently delivered the Skana, a 150-passenger hydrofoil-assisted catamaran for Major Marine Tours. This is the second delivered to Major Marine Tours by All American Marine in two years, and a sister ship to the Spirit of Matushka, delivered in the Spring of 2021. This vessel will also operate out of Seward, Alaska, and will carry passengers on tours visiting Kenai Fjords National Park. This 87’ (LOA) x 32” Teknicraft Aluminum catamaran is certified to USCG Subchapter T Standards.
“All American Marine worked with us to refine our goals, build a second, proven vessel that met those goals, and then delivered. In fact, despite building two boats during the midst of a global pandemic, they delivered both boats on time and on budget. This new vessel with its capacity, comfort, and speed is revolutionizing the fleet for Major Marine Tours,” stated Colby Lawrence, Major Marine Tours Vice President. “Our customers truly enjoy the spacious and accessible deck spaces when viewing whales and glaciers, particularly the stadium bow viewing area.”
There are many loud voices in this industry, however, we choose to stick with what we know, and that’s building quality boats at a fair price. With a proven track record of repeat customers and being chosen as the go-to builder from operators across North America, All American Marine is dedicated to being on the leading edge of vessel design and manufacturing. We are a leading builder of hybrid-electric vessels in the US and recently launched the first hydrogen-fuel-cell passenger vessel in the world. Customers come to us to provide them with an honest conversation on building the best vessels for their needs and guiding them every step of the way. We manufacture our vessels at a fair price because that’s what it takes to build quality vessels that last and outperform all the rest.
In the Spring of 2021, AAM joined the Bryton Marine Group family of boat builders, further cementing our place among the industry’s best manufacturers of innovative vessels. Bryton has substantial capital resources, a far-reaching distribution network, efficient production, and advanced information systems. Bryton’s buying power and established systems will enable All American Marine to continue to pioneer cutting-edge marine solutions while operating as a standalone business within the group. We remain committed to our family of employees and operators as we grow into a new future in the maritime industry.
