MasterCraft Boat Holdings (NASDAQ: MCFT) is a recreational boat manufacturing company that designs and builds performance sport boats and pontoon boats sold through independent dealer networks. Revenue is transactional, generated by selling finished boats to dealers who then sell to retail consumers. The company operates two reportable segments: MasterCraft, which produced 1,548 units and $240.8M in net sales in FY2025, and a Pontoon segment (Crest brand), which produced 745 units and $43.4M in net sales in FY2025.
