MasterCraft was founded in 1968 when it built its first ski boat in a two-stall horse barn on a farm in Maryville, Tennessee. Disappointed by the large wakes and pull of other ski boats, MasterCraft builders designed a hull for the smallest wake in the industry–smooth and low at slalom and jump speeds and well-defined at trick speeds.
Fast-forward to the invention of the wakeboard, which spurred the towboat industry’s most revolutionary sport to date. MasterCraft quickly met the needs of the rising sport of wakeboarding by engineering the XStar, a perfected design for performance and power. And when wakesurfing took the industry by storm, MasterCraft was the very first brand with integrated surf technology onboard.
Discover the extraordinary athletes and innovators honored with the MasterCraft Legends Club award. From record-breaking waterskiers to pioneering wakeboarders, these icons have made a lasting impact on watersports and boating.
Thanks to more than 55 years of research and development, MasterCraft boats not only feature a superior build quality for greater behind-the-boat performance and a smoother ride, but they also continue to be awarded and renowned for their innovations and achievements. Included in these achievements are countless ISO certifications earned by perfecting our operations to the highest standard.
Today, MasterCraft’s team of over 1,000 engineers expertly design and builds thousands of surf, wakeboard, and tournament ski boats each year from our world-class headquarters in Vonore, Tennessee.
