About Metan

Metan Marine is a premier, family-owned marine company based in Lakeville (and Halifax area), Massachusetts, founded in the early 1990s by Mike Borrelli. What began as a backyard shed operation has grown into a renowned leader with over 30 years of expertise in high-end fiberglass boat restoration, structural repairs, custom fabrication, and Awlgrip painting. Specializing in revitalizing classic 1960s and 1970s vessels—particularly Boston Whaler-inspired designs, Seacrafts, Makos, and other heirloom fiberglass boats—Metan has earned a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship, transforming worn classics into flawless, modernized heirlooms with 10-year structural warranties and 5-year paint guarantees. Building on this legacy, the company now produces the Metan Classic Collection, a line of brand-new boats that honor nostalgic 60s/70s styling while incorporating cutting-edge vacuum-infused vinyl ester hulls, composite construction, unsinkable performance, stainless steel hardware, and elegant mahogany or teak brightwork finished in durable high-gloss Awlgrip. Models range from compact 13-foot tenders and Super Sports to larger 17-, 21-, 26-, and 32-foot center consoles like the Davenport, Manhasset, Pelham Bay, Barretto Cove, and Glen Cove—perfect as yacht tenders, family boats, or sport-fishing vessels. With customizable options, premium materials, and a featured TV series "Making It Metan, now seen on YouTube" Metan Marine delivers timeless elegance fused with contemporary reliability and precision.
