Malibu Boats began as a passionate pursuit of performance and innovation, and for over 30 years in Australia, that legacy has continued to thrive. From our local manufacturing base in Albury, NSW, we’ve proudly built world-class towboats that help Australians live their on-water lifestyle to the fullest. Across three decades, generations of families have created unforgettable memories behind our boats — Skiing on mirror glass, boosting off the wake, chasing those summer sunsets, and sharing time together. Our purpose remains the same: to create the ultimate on the water lifestyle.

What 30 Years of Local Manufacturing Means for AUSTRALIAN Malibu Boats Owners?

For over three decades, Malibu Boats has been crafting premium towboats right here in Australia—purpose-built for the families, athletes, and weekend warriors who live for life on the water. What started as a local commitment to innovation and craftsmanship has grown into a nationally recognised legacy, with boats manufactured in Albury, NSW - now seen carving wakes and making memories across the country.

But being Australian-made is more than just a badge on the side of the boat. It’s a promise to our customers, our community, and to the spirit of adventure that runs deep in our waters.

Here’s what 30 years of local manufacturing means for our Malibu family across Australia:

1. Built for Australian Waters and the Aussie Way of Life.

From the mighty Murray River to the freshwater lakes of Queensland, Australian waterways are as diverse and demanding as the people who enjoy them. Malibu Boats are engineered right here to meet those conditions - tested in our backyard to ensure peak performance, reliability, and durability. Whether you're chasing glassy morning sessions or sunset cruises with the family, Malibu is made for how Aussies ride.


2. Faster Service, Local Support, Less Downtime.

Because we build our boats locally, we're able to provide faster turnaround times on parts, servicing, and warranty support. Our dealer network works hand-in-hand with our factory team to get you back on the water sooner—no long waits, no overseas shipping delays. It’s seamless, responsive, and tailored to Australian owners.


3. Supporting Local Jobs and Regional Manufacturing.

Choosing Malibu means supporting Australian workers and their families. Our Albury-based facility employs skilled tradespeople, designers, engineers, and support staff—many of whom have grown with the company over the years. Your boat is more than a product; it’s the result of local hands, local knowledge, and local pride.


4. Customisation That Reflects You.

With local production comes flexibility. Whether you’re an elite rider looking for specific performance features or a family chasing your dream wake or ski boat, we can tailor builds to suit your lifestyle. It's about giving you more control over how your boat looks, feels, and rides - without the extended lead times of overseas manufacturing.


5. Three Decades of Trust and Innovation.

Thirty years of local manufacturing has taught us a lot. We’ve learned what Aussie customers value - quality, reliability, on-water performance, family-friendly features - and we’ve spent decades refining our craft. Our factory team and dealer network are connected by a shared goal: to deliver the best possible experience, every time you hit the water.


6. A Community That’s Always Close to Home.

When you buy a Malibu, you’re not just buying a boat—you’re joining a community. Our Australian network of passionate owners, experienced dealers, and dedicated factory staff means you’re never far from advice, support, or someone who shares your passion. We ride with you—every wave, every memory, every summer.


Celebrating 30 Years - and Just Getting Started.

As we mark 30 years of building boats in Australia, we’re incredibly proud of the journey so far. But this is just the beginning. We remain committed to innovation, adventure, and creating moments that matter on the water.

To every customer, dealer, and team member who’s been part of the Malibu story—we thank you. Here's to the next chapter, written together on Australian waters.
