Introduction
HISTORY
Since our founding more than six decades ago, Boston Whaler
®
has conceived and built peerless designs
that meet boaters’ diverse and changing needs. It all began in Braintree, Massachusetts with founder Richard
Fisher’s inspired new construction method featuring two significant innovations: first, a twin-sponson
hull design that resulted in superior stability and a remarkably dry ride, and second, a unique foam-core
construction that made the boat not only durable, but unsinkable as well. So for people whose livelihood and
lives depend on their boat, Boston Whaler is the right choice because of our seaworthiness, dependability,
and the inherent safety of a hull that won’t sink even if severely damaged. Plain and simple, Boston Whaler
boats are built to last.
In 1961, Fisher’s demonstration of that unsinkability was captured by Life magazine in photos
showing a Whaler
®
boat being sawed in half and Fisher then motoring away in the remaining half.
True to Fisher’s vision, Boston Whaler’s world-class team has consistently pushed the envelope, furthering
advances in manufacturing, design, navigation, and propulsion technologies.
On September 26, 1996, Richard Fisher was posthumously inducted into the National Marine Manufacturer’s
Association (NMMA) hall of fame for accomplishments made in marine engineering and construction.
In 1958, the legend is born as company
founder Dick Fisher demonstrates a
Boston Whaler’s total unsinkability.
