COVID-19 has been the driver for the upswell of sales with demand exceeding supply in many cases.

”The pandemic has caused people and families to find new forms of recreation that have social distancing built into that activity. And boating is that perfect outlet to do just that. allowing people to reconnect with their own family, to slow down, take stock of their lives, stop and relax so not to feel rushed,” said Sailfish Boats President and CEO Rob Parmentier.

“The current team of boatbuilders is working hard to meet the demands of our customers. This perfect storm from the increased demand and added distribution has caused the company to grow. looking for talented craftsmen to join with us for this incredible opportunity.” Parmentier said.
