Post Marine was founded by Russell Post, a skilled boat builder who had previously co-founded the Egg Harbor Yacht Company. With a lifelong passion for boats, Russell sold his only car to fund the construction of the first Egg Harbor boat. The early models were tested in the challenging waters of the South Jersey coast, ensuring their seaworthiness in all conditions.
After selling Egg Harbor, Russell briefly retired before reentering the boat-building business in 1957 with his new company, Post Marine. The company established its current facility in Mays Landing, New Jersey, and has since maintained a solid reputation for building quality boats. The management team, led by Charlie Walters and Bill Schell, has stayed true to the Post tradition, focusing on quality rather than quantity.
Unlike other companies in the industry, Post Marine has chosen to concentrate their efforts on meeting the high standards of experienced boaters. This approach has allowed them to maintain consistent quality and value throughout their 54 years of production.
In 2011, Post Marine Group LLC purchased the assets of Post Marine Co., Inc. and relocated operations to Chestertown, Maryland. The company remains committed to upholding the same principles of honesty, passion, and spirit that defined its founders and their team.
