Scott Marine
04.1974 - 03.1986

Together with my father, Dennis Scott, we started building boats in his garage. Then moved our operation to IPOA in Chaguaramas. We offered the manufacture of our indigenous pirogue as well as repairs and maintenance of boats and engines. We were also the first company to start renting boats to the general public.


Prior to working with my father I achieved extensive experience in Dredging, Marine Construction and the oil fields before deciding to focus wholly on the manufacture of boats.

Accomplishments

I designed and built a completely new hull design. We have obtained approval for the design from the Intellectual Property Organization of Trinidad and Tobago. This unique one of a kind design will be coming out of our very own Trinidad & Tobago this year! This boat blends our indigenous Pirogue with the deep V. Offering a sturdy strong boat that rides easier than the Pirogue and is dry to operate. Offering fisherfolk and sport fishermen the ability to go further with ease and comfort and return to port safely. Exciting things to come for us in T&T.
