Behind the Boat
It all began in 1992 with a handful of experienced and dedicated craftsmen who shared a powerful dream of creating a company that would design and build the strongest, safest and most reliable boats on the water.
Today that dream is a reality in EdgeWater Boats.

Behind the Boat
While we continue to maintain small-company agility, responsiveness and drive, our twelve-year partnership with the North Marine Group, whose cutting-edge technologies are found aboard everything from America’s Cup racing yachts to the space shuttle, has given us the technological and financial resources necessary to create the highly advanced product our customers demand, and ultimately, design your dream boat.
Today, EdgeWater employs more than 175 people, in a 94,000 square foot, state-of-the-art facility that produces a limited number of uniquely handcrafted boats each year. All our boats are made in EdgeWater, Florida.
Our managers, designers and engineers are all active boaters. We cruise, dive, and fish with our families. We spend time on the water with EdgeWater owners, gathering their input, ideas and suggestions for constant improvement. Our experience on the water drives the way we design and build our boats.
As a direct reflection of our ongoing commitment to listening to our customers, we are delighted to have received several CSI awards for outstanding customer satisfaction.
We also have won multiple marketing awards, including a Gold and Bronze Telly Award for our nationwide commercial spots.

Luxury
Our iconic craftsmanship creates a visually stunning boat. But it’s not just pretty. It’s solid. Lightweight. Tough against all conditions. Our entire fleet — center console or dual console boats — is made for the family. Adventure bound. Our owners create memories with our boats. We are just the dream factory to take them there.

“In February 2020, we announced our pregnancy while holding a baby life jacket in front of the 158CS out on the water with the caption: We’re going to need a bigger boat.”
