In 1948, Stright-MacKay was founded as a boat building firm in Pictou, Nova Scotia, and quickly developed a solid reputation for constructing superior yachts and commercial vessels, as well as developing a retail outlet for commercial fishing supplies. The company decided to cease boat building operations in 1982 and focus on our distribution business to meet the growing demand for marine equipment products and supplies. It is this distribution business that represents today’s Stright-MacKay.
