Built to withstand the African Conditions
T-Craft since 2004, is a member of the Legacy Marine Group, based in Port Elizabeth, South Africa and is the appointed Sales, Marketing and Distribution body for our Marine group. Our boats are engineered and constructed from fully crafted Marine Grade Aluminium and are designed and built to handle the rigours of life on the waterways of Africa safely. T-Craft Boats consist of the AG, KF and KFX Ranges which can include our proprietary Maxi hull designs, offering 25 - 30% more internal deck space than conventional hull designs. T-Craft boats are supplied and supported directly from our factory based in South Africa and through our accredited distribution and service network.
At Legacy Marine, the majority of our vessels regardless of size, are built for commercial applications, where the owner uses the vessel daily in the generation of income. For this reason, our hulls are built using fully welded 3mm to 6mm Marine Grade Aluminium. Welding is a sturdier construction method than riveting which is reserved for thin aluminium plate, as found in lightweight aluminium boats or aircraft construction where continuous seam welding can lead to porosity, cracking and burn-through in thin plate.
All our vessel welds are tested using Non-Destructive Testing such as Dye Penetration or X-Ray techniques.
The edges of the aluminium plate and parts to be welded, are correctly prepared to remove any dirt or oxidation thus ensuring a good quality weld.
All welding is done using our dedicated pulsed TIG and MIG aluminium welding machines.
T-Craft has built over 800 vessels for clients in the African market and have perfected our designs based on feedback from the owners and their operational environment.
Our vessels are manufactured to the highest quality standards and each vessel is marked with a builder plate identifying the Model No, Date of Build and the Names of the Builders of that vessel.
As the largest volume of our vessels are exported into Africa, the vessels are designed to optimise the shipping / freight solution and minimise delivery costs.
To reduce lead times, we carry a range of finished hulls in stock which are then fitted out with one of the standard layouts as chosen by the client.
We also build bespoke features into our hulls to the clients request or complete vessels to the owner’s design as required.
Our T-Craft Range is manufactured at our 2500m² Legacy Marine production facility in Port Elizabeth South Africa, which is in close proximity to our two local trade ports from where our vessels are shipped.
Our facility is fitted with the latest aluminium boat building equipment and machinery, with the entire site being dedicated to aluminium works so as to avoid any contamination from iron-based metals. Our galvanised steel trailers are built at a separate facility.
At T-Craft we firmly believe that a large part of our success is derived from partnering with people that share our passion for quality aluminium boats.
We strive to provide our Clients with the highest quality product, which is backed up by the highest level of service and expertise. For more info, please visit our group site, Legacy Marine Group, or click on the button below.
