I’m Zack, founder of MARINE|O.

The idea was born in Airlie Beach, where I spent nearly three years working on boats and living in boardshorts. Every pair I wore was synthetic, plastic-based, and far from natural.

No one was solving the problem — so I decided I would.

No synthetics. No shortcuts. Just premium, purpose-driven shorts made for life in and around the water.

Why MARINE|O Matters

Every purchase is more than a piece of clothing. It’s a step toward changing the industry.

Fast fashion built on cheap synthetics has dominated for too long, filling landfills and oceans with waste that will outlive us all.

At MARINE|O, we're backing a shift toward natural fabrics, proving that performance and sustainability can live side by side.

Together, we can set a new standard — one that puts people and the planet first.

This isn’t just clothing. It’s a movement.
