The Nootka 36 is for the big trips. It's an outboard cabin cruiser that's fast and good-looking, for people who want to get there quickly and then fish, camp or cruise: up the coast, out to the islands, or north to Desolation Sound.

Inside: an enclosed head, a galley and a dinette. Outside: a self-bailing deck with side and transom dive doors. It's just as at home doing commercial work.

A different hull from the Tatoosh

The Nootka isn't a stretched Tatoosh. It's its own 12′-beam hull, built around a full cabin and the fuel to go a long way.

The ARMOR standard

  • Every part modeled in 3D CAD and reviewed with you before plate is cut
  • CNC-cut parts, plate-marked with forming and welding instructions, so every hull matches the drawing
  • Formed on a 12′, 200-ton CNC press brake
  • Welded to written procedures, to AWS D1.2 and AWS D3.7
  • Marine-grade 5086 and 5052 aluminum throughout

Built in our 16,000 sq ft Anacortes facility, with a full-length 5-ton bridge crane and room for vessels up to 100′. Because every part is drawn in 3D CAD and CNC-cut, we're set up for multi-boat and fleet contracts as well as one-off custom builds.
Warranty: 10-year limited hull warranty for commercial use; lifetime limited hull warranty for recreational use.
