MetalCraft Marine

MetalCraft Marine (MCM) is an aluminum boat manufacturer located in Kingston, Ontario. In 2012 MCM opened a facility in Cape Vincent, New York after operating in Clayton, New York for many years.

Founded in 1987 by Tom Wroe and Montgomery Smith, MCM has built vessels for organizations and municipal fire departments. Known primarily for their fireboats, MCM also builds work boats, patrol boats, barges and research vessels. MetalCraft's American subsidiary won a contract with the United States Coast Guard to deliver up to 10 Long Range Interceptor (LRI-II) vessels, which replace the previous LRI test vessels.

MetalCraft is best known for its high-speed fire boat, the FireStorm, currently used by the Tampa, Florida Fire Department, the Jacksonville Fire Department, and the Boston Fire Department. The Wilmington, Delaware Fire Department will take ownership of a new FireStorm 70 in the summer of 2012 and the Houston Port Authority will begin taking delivery of the first of three of these vessels in early 2013.
