This guy! What a legend. Meet Ben Worthington!

We’re incredibly proud to share that Ben has been named one of just four finalists in the Minister for Manufacturing Awards for Manufacturing Apprentice of the Year!

Ben is an outstanding boat builder, a natural leader, and an all-round top bloke. His dedication, work ethic, and passion for the marine industry make him a huge asset to the team, and we couldn’t be more stoked to see his hard work recognised on a national stage. 🛥️🎣

Huge congratulations, Ben — the whole crew is behind you! 👏 #BoatBuilding #ApprenticeOfTheYear #MFMAwards2026 #EMX #ManufacturingAwards #MarineIndustry #BoatBuilder #Apprenticeships #ProudTeam

Introducing Pikachu!!

The NorthCape Custom 58 set to begin construction in 2027 — destined for Townsville, Australia.

Built to Australian survey standards and packed with our signature NorthCape Custom underwater features, this vessel is all about serious manoeuvrability and performance, purpose built for chasing Black Marlin on the Great Barrier Reef!! #customsportsfisher #customgameboat #quality #Ripsnorter #composite

A birds eye view 👀of the three NorthCape Custom Boats under build! The NorthCape 49, NorthCape 51 and NorthCape 43 are all looking beautiful! Happy Easter everyone!! 🐣 #composite #customgameboats #carbonfibre #quality #loveourteam ... See MoreSee Less

The NorthCape Custom 43 top is on!

Days like this make us incredibly proud and a little emotional. Watching the vision come together is something special. Huge credit to project managers Johnny and Cody, our designers Tim, Craig, Claude & co, and the rest of the our team who made sure the fit was absolutely perfect and the quality is 💯

This boat is truly one of a kind. Built mainly from carbon fibre, featuring four lifting points, a towing eye, and an extremely innovative hull design specifically for chasing billfish fast!

The level of craftsmanship and teamwork that goes into each of our builds is something we’re incredibly proud of, and we couldn’t be more excited to see her coming together! ❤️ We love our team, our clients and our boats! #gameboat #customsportsfisher #oneofakind #loveourteam #carbonfibre

It's been an absolute pleasure having the Cape Verde, Dogs Bollocks team, Mark & Stuart here checking out their NorthCape Custom 51 currently under build.

Unfortunately the weather was pretty average but we managed to get them out on the NorthCape 43 for a day. Big cheers for the backing down footage from the tower, Stu!

Here’s a snippet from our trip on the NorthCape 43 to the Three Kings / King Bank about 50 miles off the top of New Zealand. There is nothing better than fishing as a family with our two kids Charlie and Lindi! Such an incredible fishery! Happy 2026, with three NorthCape Custom Boats under build, it's going to be an epic year! Cheers, Brad and Charlotte. #backtowork #threekings #customsportsfisher #ourpassion @charliefinnrowe ...

Day one of the Bay of Islands Swordfish Club (Inc) Juniors on the NorthCape 43, Rowe'De'O, was a day with a lot more bust ups than hook ups!!! Big shout out to the team: Lindi, Olivia, Liam & Tyler, absolute legends.
They might not have been breaking records, but they were definitely breaking. LFG day two!! #whatalaugh #goodtimes

🎣🔥 Thought I’d share how well the TimeZero and Ocean-O went on the weekend!
We’ve set up this system, thanks to Furuno New Zealand, to run through our Garmin screens, and honestly, it’s such an impressive setup. It helped us narrow things down to where the fish might be. This is just a small glimpse of what this system can do. If you want a more detailed look check out the video link below.
