As the owner of a Mainship 40 Trawler, you have chosen one of the finest boats money
can buy.
Mainship Corporation, is one of America’s oldest privately held yachting companies. In February 1996
Mainship became an employee ownership company. We continue to be dedicated to giving you a quality yacht
that will bring you years of enjoyment whether you’re spending a day at the marina or cruising down a waterway.
Performance, dependability, safety, and comfort is more than just a catchy phrase at Mainship. It is the basis for
every step of design and construction to assure you of many pleasure-filled years of yachting.
A Rich Heritage
Mainship Corporation was formed in 1977 and soon outgrew the existing facilities. A new plant was built in Marlboro,
NJ and was home to Mainship until 1992 when it was moved to St. Augustine, FL. Over 1200 of the traditionally
styled cruisers were built before Mainship began building a European inspired line of cruisers in 1988. The new boat
line did well for several years, but Mainship's real destiny was to return to the trawlers that made them famous. In
1994, the first new Trawler, a 35" sedan was introduced and the market accepted the new breed with enthusiasm.
Today, Mainship Corporation is the leading manufacturer of production trawlers building 6 different models with
many more on the drawing boards. Production is split between the St. Augustine facility it shares with the Luhrs
Corpoation.
