Each Moda vessel is custom-crafted and each new owner is treated as a treasured individual. While each Moda boat is therefore unique, Modas are designed and built to fully satisfy a wide range of owners. Moda was established in Brisbane in 2010. The founder who specialised in rescue boats saw a gap in the market and teamed with Scott Robson – a world-renowned aluminium catamaran designer. This partnership brought a new level of line, luxury and safety to die-hard fishing and family cruising in both catamarans and mono hulls in Australia and the South Pacific. After a foray into building commercial vessels, Moda relocated to Newcastle NSW under the aegis of Brain Industries in Carrington. Brain is a large metals manufacturer, specialising in products for mining, tunnelling and oil & gas.

In a very short time Moda’s order book is filling fast with orders for new Moda boats and Moda has expanded to 10 shipwrights and boat building specialists. So to better service the growing level of customer interest, Moda just moved into its own dedicated facility adjacent to Brain – 1,000 square metres of boat building factory under one roof in harbourside Carrington.

This growth is testament to Moda management’s in-depth knowledge of the marine industry. They are all keen boating enthusiasts with salt water also running through their veins. They know what makes a boat sing in all conditions and identify and fix any risks.
