Where Craftsmanship Meets Your Life on the Water
Front Runner Boatworks builds some of the finest custom boats and catamarans in the world. These aren't production boats pulled off an assembly line. Every Front Runner is crafted from the ground up based on the specific lifestyle, needs, and desires of the person who will fish it. BTH Marine is proud to be your authorized Front Runner dealer in the Florida Keys.
CUSTOM BUILT TO ORDER
Every Front Runner is built around you. Your fishing style, your family, your waters. No two boats are exactly alike.
MADE IN THE USA
Every Front Runner is hand crafted in Jacksonville, Florida by serious boatbuilders who hold their work to an art form standard.
BE PART OF THE BUILD
Want to watch your boat come to life? We can arrange a factory visit in Jacksonville so you can be part of the process.
BORN FROM A HIGHER STANDARD
Front Runner Boat Works was founded by Phillip Man and Mark Lacovara to fill a quality and craftsmanship gap they saw in the market. Every boat is built by hand in Jacksonville, Florida and held to a standard that is as much art form as it is engineering.
BTH Marine's relationship with Front Runner goes back to Tommy 'Chief' Hofstetter's racing days - long before BTH Marine opened its doors. We have been with them since the beginning and are proud to bring that relationship and trust to every client we build a boat with.
When you build a Front Runner through BTH Marine, we sit down with you, understand exactly what you want on the water, and work with the Front Runner team to bring that vision to life.
