ABOUT HEWESCRAFT BOATS
Dating back to the late 1950s, the Hewes Boats brand has been attached to the production of shallow water fishing vessels. Designed for the recreational angler, Hewes Boats sold fast and agile watercraft ranging from 16 to 21 feet in length. The Maverick Boat Company currently manufactures Hewes Boats brand of watercraft.
Under Maverick’s leadership, the Hewes name continues to represent dependable, shallow-draft boats built for inshore fishing environments.

Each boat is crafted with durability and performance in mind, featuring quality materials, advanced hull designs, and angler-focused layouts. With a focus on shallow-water accessibility and long-lasting reliability, Hewes boats remain a top choice for fishermen who demand precision, speed, and simplicity on the water.
