About founder, Mark Castlow

On, in, and around water sums up a great big chunk of Mark Castlow’s life. He’s a Florida native whose inherent affinity for the blue was only intensified by where he grew up…Miami and the Keys.

As a teen, Mark learned how to “ride” the water and became so enamored of the sport, he started his own surf shop and line of surfboards (Atlantis). Surfing propelled him to travel the country investigating almost every body of water and wave condition you can think of.

Gorgeous detail.

Gorgeous detail.

Mark’s work and innovations in the fiberglass industry put him in demand to make, repair, create or improvise all sorts of solutions to all sorts of problems. And then the boat business…after years at Maverick Boat Company, Mark has had his finger on the pulse of what it takes to success- fully manufacture and market shallow water craft.

He became so knowledgeable about what people wanted (and, perhaps even more important, what they didn’t want) that Mark’s next step was to start a business producing two-day, shallow water fishing expositions throughout the southeastern United States. How much more information could one person have about the people, the sport, the market, the craft, the demand and the challenges of shallow water boating?

Now, at Dragonfly Boatworks, Mark’s focus is keen:

Creating perfect shallow water craft by “Building One of a Kind, One at a Time”
