Run us into the ground
Like all Munson Boats, the 30’ Series is made using 1/4″ marine-grade aluminum plate. We then add another 1/4″ of aluminum where the boat hits the beach. This combined with the amazing Munson signature bow door makes our 30’ landing craft unsurpassed in functionality, strength, longevity & value. Go ahead. Make our day. Run us into the ground.
That’s what Munson Boats are uniquely engineered & built to do. At Munson Boats, no corners are cut, and no compromises are made. Ask any Munson Boat owner and they will tell you that no other welded aluminum boat is built like a Munson. You owe it to yourself to see just how much easier working at sea can be with the right boat.

Our clients say it best…
“I really like my 34’ Munson. There’s been high demand in my area for a dive boat and the Munson makes a really good dive platform. I’ve carried a lot of weight on this boat, (exceeding 5,000 lbs on many occasions,) and have never seen the load have any impact on the boat’s ride or handling. This boat handles really well. I go out all the time when there are small craft warnings without any difficulty. The ride can get a bit uncomfortable in gale force winds, (as you would expect) but I’ve never felt unsafe in this boat. I’ve run in seas that are considerably taller than the boat without difficulty.
I’m not an expert regarding metal fabrication, but everyone who has seen my boat and who is knowledgeable about metal work has gone out of their way to tell me that it’s got the best welding of any metal fabrication that they’ve ever seen. One guy who does welding for a living told me that the welds on my boat could be considered the “Olympic gold medal” standard for welding. This boat is really well put together.
I’m completely happy with this boat and don’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone. If and when I buy another boat, (when my wife let’s me) it’s going to be another Munson.”
