What makes Ballyhoo Marine the right choice?

Ballyhoo Marine is driven by a deep-rooted passion for the ocean and exceptional craftsmanship. Founded and led by owner and CEO Peet Botha, the company is built on a lifetime of hands-on experience in boat building and a genuine love for life on the water.

From an early age, Peet developed a strong connection to the sea, spending countless hours learning, refining, and mastering the art of boat construction. Over the years, he has built and contributed to numerous vessels, earning a reputation for quality, reliability, and attention to detail.

Proudly based in Velddrif on the West Coast of South Africa, all Ballyhoo Marine boats are locally manufactured. This allows us to maintain strict quality control while supporting local skills and craftsmanship, ensuring every vessel meets our high standards.

At Ballyhoo Marine, every boat is more than just a product — it’s a reflection of precision engineering, practical design, and a commitment to performance. Whether for fishing, leisure, or offshore adventures, our boats are crafted to deliver durability, safety, and an unmatched on-water experience.

We take pride in building vessels that not only meet but exceed expectations. Each build is approached with care, ensuring that every client receives a boat tailored to their needs, backed by solid workmanship and trusted expertise.

At the heart of Ballyhoo Marine is a simple philosophy: build boats we believe in, for people who share our passion for the sea.
