Everglades Boats was founded in 2001 by Bob Dougherty, a prominent figure in the marine industry known for his innovative approach to boat design and manufacturing. Dougherty, who had previously co-founded Boston Whaler, brought decades of experience to his new venture, focusing on creating high-quality, unsinkable fishing and recreational boats. From its inception, Everglades Boats set out to revolutionise the boating industry with the patented Ramcap construction process, which involves a closed-mould technique that produces a foam-filled hull—offering superior buoyancy and structural integrity.The company's first model, the Everglades 243cc, quickly became famous for its robust design and exceptional performance, setting the standard for future models. Over the years, Everglades Boats has maintained its commitment to innovation, durability, and safety, earning numerous awards and a loyal customer base. Their boats are known for their luxurious appointments, advanced engineering, and thoughtful features designed to enhance the boating experience.Today, Everglades Boats operates out of Edgewater, Florida, where they continue to manufacture a wide range of premium centre console, dual console, and cabin models, catering to both avid anglers and leisure boaters. Despite facing market fluctuations and economic challenges, Everglades has sustained its reputation for quality and craftsmanship, remaining a significant player in the competitive boating industry.
