Moving Forward Since its inception, WakeCraft Boats has understood that a boat doesn’t have to be just a material possession, but instead it can be an influential member of the family. From your sunset rides to your weeklong vacations, WakeCraft is focused on helping you build memories of enjoyment and togetherness. These memories require a peace of mind and satisfaction with your purchase decision and WakeCraft understands that your ultimate satisfaction is derived from the perfect balance of innovation, performance, styling and quality. These four elements create the core value that WakeCraft delivers to you. There’s a difference between buying the most expensive and buying the best. We keep our overhead low, invest in our people and are focused on building the best boat possible. Our focus towards these essential activities enables us to deliver you a product that produces both peace of mind and a lifetime of memories. Innovation You can easily measure WakeCraft’s leadership in innovation by looking at the truly unique features available on our boats. We have been first to market with many features like forward sweeping towers, rider presets and touch screen functionality. Proving that innovation remains an existing cornerstone of our philosophy, we’ve continued to bring you features the competition can’t offer such as our in-house constructed a truly designed tower, our Hydro Thrust™ WAKE SURF System (patent pending). All of these functional features are designed to make your boat convenient to use, cutting-edge, and unique to WakeCraft. Performance there is no hiding the facts and people who have driven them know that WakeCraft makes the best handling boats on the water since 1969, bar none. Whether you are participating in a tow sport or
just out for a Sunday drive, you can tell that WakeCraft has made no sacrifices to achieve world-class performance. Regardless of your preferred activity, we dare our competition to meet us at the lake because we know the Truth is on the Water. Styling A boat should be designed to not only meet the functional purpose but it should also look good while doing it. WakeCraft understands this and we are constantly balancing our efforts between attractive design and functional engineering. Why would you want to invest in a leisure product without having complete confidence that you are the best-looking ride out on the water? When you look at your WakeCraft Boat, take notice of the finer details and you’ll see that we pay close attention to ensuring that you’ll be the envy of the neighborhood in your boat! Quality WakeCraft knows your work-hard-play-hard mentality requires a trustworthy boat that will maximize your time on the water. We don’t see quality as some award that can be bought; we see it as an investment in our Company. Quality investments come easy to WakeCraft because we are driven by accountability, from our employees to the dealers and suppliers. While we think there are four core elements that drive why WakeCraft is the best-selling boat in the world, why WakeCraft’s hold their value better than any other brand out there and why we see families buying their third, fourth and even fifth WakeCraft; our customers simplify it and tell us they’re dedicated to WakeCraft because we offer the best value. The WakeCraft value stems from the shared passion doing what we love most. And that is why our staff is dedicated to hand-building the boat of your dreams and our ultimate success is gauged by how many memories you make on the water.

Team Work Located in Merced, California Wakecraft is an agile manufacturer of high quality competition water craft. WakeCraft is a small company with usually no more than a dozen employees. The company values craftsmanship and each employee recieves hundreds of hours of training. The former production facility size limited production to thirty to forty Wakecraft boats annually. The new 14,000 square foot (approx. 1,500 square meters) Wakecraft facility in Merced can accommodate three production lines and up to nine hundred boats per year. The new facility is licensed and approved for boat manufacturing in Merced, California and Merced County.
WakeCraft has an established international network of distributors. Twenty dealers are scattered from Australia to the Netherlands: • David Telling also founded the well known Australian FlightCraft in 1969. • The ZR6 and ZR8 24 ft is a compilation of 45 years of experience in hull design. • WakeCraft facility in Atwater. We combine the best of old-school craftsmanship with new-school technology in every WakeCraft. Rather than rely on random placement of upholstery, grab rails,
and other items attached to the boat, we jig every one to ensure that every part goes in the correct place, every time and water test 3 times. David Telling, Founder and President – Wakecraft Boats. David Telling also founded the well known Australian FlightCraft in 1969. This world approved and highly coveted range of boats was subsequently sold to Malibu Boats in 1989 where he was the director of sales and marketing until 1992.

WORLD Our Mission
Get in Touch You know, there is equally impressive set of ‘lasts’ that we pride ourselves on here at Skier’s Choice. WakeCraft have been the ‘last’ of the major tournament boat manufacturers to retain ‘value’ as part of our ownership experience. And we promise you that we will be the last tournament boat company to attempt to build boats on ‘trendy’ design whims or add cost to a boat simply because we can. Riders building boats for riders. That’s how we have been able so many of our boat owner’s leave their own wake wherever they go.
