A commercial aluminium boat is made of aluminium alloy and meant for commercial applications, particularly fishing and other water sports. Generally, these boats are much more durable, buoyant, and spacious and require less maintenance than fibreglass boats. Aluminium boats are designed to endure heavy usages, such as when fishing for large, powerful fish and towing various commercial watercraft, such as recreational boats and water skis. The inherent corrosion resistance of aluminium boats also makes them well-suited for commercial applications where most marine environments are quite harsh. For example, many commercial fishing boats are built from aluminium. Furthermore, aluminium boats are typically more affordable than their fibreglass counterparts and can be easily repaired—another factor that makes them attractive to commercial users.
