Why Stessl Boats Are Proudly Built on the Gold Coast
Behind every Stessl is a skilled local team of welders, fabricators, fitters, designers and quality control staff who understand what Australian boaters expect from a tough aluminium boat.
From offshore fishing runs to family weekends on the water, every Stessl is manufactured with Australian conditions in mind.
