People who
make their living on the water need solid and dependable vessels with which
they can ply their trade. Aside from general seaworthiness, such vessels must
be outfitted with reliable communications gear, up-to-date fishing tackle and
proper lifesaving equipment. Even people who use their boats for pleasure
fishing should have safe, well-equipped boats.
In producing
vessels of such uncompromising quality, Dixon's Marine, which was founded in
1981 by former commercial fisherman Gary Dixon, lays the keels of all the
fishing boats it sells by hand. The company also focuses its high-powered
attention to detail on all aspects of construction. Because of a combination of
Dixon's Marine’s commitment to such high standards and its desire to expand
into the international market, the Canadian government has, through the
Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, lent it CA$175,000, both for the
expansion and general upgrades to its production facilities.
The company
has fishing boats
for sale from 11-15 meters long; the larger boats are more popular in
international locations, such as the United States. The company has plans to
build new models of up to 19 meters in size, and the loan from ACOA has allowed
it to purchase hauling equipment that will enable it to deliver boats that
large anywhere in North America.
