TESTIMONIALS
"By far the best handling deep v fishing boat I have ever piloted!
Rob Jackson is a very open-minded builder who will take your ideas and wants and incorporate them into the boat; making it the best aluminum boat on the market!"
Nick Strussi of Courtenay BC - JXC 28 Offshore Sportfisher
"The boat is a fishing machine....rides very nice, cuts through the chop and performs well in the big seas. I’m proud to pass along your name to say the least Robert. Thank you very much for the hard work but more importantly the attention to detail."

"2007 marked the end of our quest for our ideal boat, and the person to build it for us.
We'd spent two years dreaming, sketching, surfing the Net, and finally, visiting local builders of aluminum boats. Some build beautiful boats, but only offer specific models, others cater to the commercial sector, and some do quality custom work but not within our budget. Then we met Rob at Jaxoncraft. Within minutes it was obvious, here was a most capable builder, producing a quality product one boat at a time. He would be able to devote all of his efforts to us and our boat, a level of attention and customer service that is almost impossible to find in bigger shops.
Three months later and we've taken delivery of the boat we'd dreamed of...only better. A custom 24' X 8'6" centre console powered by twin Yamaha F115s, delivered on time and on budget.
The quality of workmanship and attention to detail are what one would expect from only the best builders on the Coast. We can't imagine wanting a different boat, but if we do...we'd want Rob Jackson to build it."

"The boat rocks. I've taken it into the worst and have never had a problem. I should have ordered a bigger one."

"I got a great boat for a great price!"

"I am the privileged owner of the first 24 foot Jaxoncraft boat. It is great to take the kids out and go exploring hidden coves and beaches and swimming. The kids can take refuge in the V-birth when the fishing gets hot. A great fishing boat with all the details well thought-out. Huge fish box, a radar arch for your net, gaff and rods. I've had it on the West coast in 3 meter swells all the while feeling safe and impressed by the handling of this craft. The self-bailing features make the clean up a snap with a hose & brush or pressure washer. You don't have to worry about cleaning this boat when you're filling it with salmon, halibut, crabs & prawns. The size of this boat makes it perfect for hauling on a trailer while meeting all your needs of space and stowage at sea. Dealing with Mr. Robert Jackson has been a pleasure and has enhanced my boating experience. A true gentleman and superb craftsman."

"I was immediately impressed with the graceful lines and the outstanding finish of the Jaxoncraft boats. The performance on the water has been equally impressive. I have purchased two JXC 24s and they will form the foundation upon which "Northern Light” will be built. I have also found Robert co-operative and extremely helpful in all matters concerning the boats."

"A work of art."

"Jaxoncraft delivered. On time and on budget. Robert (RJ) was a pleasure to deal with throughout the whole process. He has an impeccable eye for detail and an enduring passion for quality. Passion sustains everything. Very refreshing to deal with someone who doesn't believe in shortcuts, and if his name is going on it - it's going to be done right 110%. Originally I was looking at Eaglecraft and Silver Streak boats, but their lack of flexibility and willingness to customize led me to look elsewhere - and I'm really glad I found RJ and Jaxoncraft. I ended up with the exact boat I wanted, at a fair price based on the unique design, quality, seaworthiness, and sheer ruggedness. I look forward to passing this boat down to my grandkids one day, which will be a while since my son is only 7! So look forward to having it in the family indefinitely."
