Mystic Powerboats Inc. was founded in 1996 by John Cosker in Melbourne Florida. After graduating college with a marine engineering degree, John spent six years working with industry notables such as Phil Rolla, Tom Gentry, John Connor, Mark Nemschoff and Fabio Buzzi.

Mystic was started with the goal of building the finest offshore boats in America. The first model was a 32 ft. offshore catamaran prototype which hit the water in 1997. Shortly after the completion of this boat John was contacted by David Callan who had just founded Callan Marine. Mystic was contracted for the design and engineering on a 55 ft. turbine powered V hull and the company was moved to Port Orange Florida near Daytona Beach for construction of that boat. The 55 footer was powered with a pair of gas turbines and ran 120 mph. This project was closely followed by the refit of an offshore racing catamaran which was built in Italy with a pair of gas turbines. This was the first offshore catamaran to exceed the magical 200 mph number and was crowned Top Gun at the 2004 Lake of the Ozarks Shootout with a speed of 203 mph.

In 2004 construction began on a 62 ft. diesel powered V hull of Cosker’s design. This boat was powered with CAT 1,550 hp diesels and Arneson surface drives. With this horsepower the boat was capable of an astounding 93 mph. In the beginning of 2005 the company was moved to its present location in DeLand Florida, just west of Daytona Beach. Construction of a new 30,000 square foot facility was completed in August of 2007 which now houses design / engineering, lamination, paint and rigging departments.

In 2007 Mystic launched Stew Leonard’s custom built 70 ft. diesel powered V hull that was started from a sketch dream and was delivered as a running boat capable of 80 mph in just over two years.

A number of Mystic’s 50 ft. catamarans have already been delivered to some of the top offshore race teams in the US. The first 50 footer out of the mold has been crowned Top Gun at the LOTO shootout three years in a row with the 2007 event bringing a top speed of 209 mph. The second boat out of the mould, “Budweiser Select” won the Key West World Championships in 2007 winning all three championship races. 2007 also brought the introduction of a new 60 ft. diesel express cruiser, the first of which is currently in lamination. 2008 has gotten off to a stellar start for Mystic with the newly renamed “Bud Light” boat winning its class in the first race of the 2008 season and setting a top speed race record of 194 mph.

Working in advanced lightweight epoxy construction, the hulls and decks are very light yet extremely strong. The company is well versed in working with carbon fiber materials as well as conventional e-glass and aramid fabrics. All models are designed using state of the art computer 3-D modeling. The entire boat including hull/deck, propulsion systems and interior outfitting are modeled into the boats prior to construction to ensure optimal layouts and appointments.

Entering 2010 with a rich heritage of the fastest race boats in the world the catamaran model line is selling well now into the pleasure boat market with a solid back log of orders. Only into the first month of the year Mystic is slated to deliver more offshore catamarans in the 2010 calendar year than it ever has in a year before by nearly two to one. With the recent completion of a new 50 ft. hull mould tool Mystic has doubled production capacity of the catamarans making it possible to deliver four times as many of these boats in a year than it ever has before.

Mystic can now use this momentum and focus on the performance yacht market with customers boasting about their yacht being built by the same company that builds 200+ mph offshore racing catamarans. Mystic has spent years building the skills and technology to create the finest powerboats in the world. We look forward to working with creative customers as we work to build our heritage one boat at a time.
