Lindell Yachts embodies a legacy of unmatched craftsmanship initiated by Jim Lindell, a visionary who began constructing boats as a teenager. From his early days on Washington's Camano Island, Jim developed a profound connection with marine craftsmanship, influenced by his grandfather, a skilled machinist. His journey from building fiberglass runabouts to revolutionizing commercial salmon fishing vessels in Southeast Alaska marks the inception of a legacy that blends durability with elegance.
Disappointed by the sub-par quality of existing fishing boats, Jim resolved to create superior vessels capable of withstanding harsh marine conditions. The birth of the 42-foot gill-netter Gold Rush marked a turning point, showcasing a design that elegantly cleaved through treacherous seas, earning him the moniker of the master boat builder in the Northwest commercial fishing community. His commitment to excellence soon set a new standard, with his creations heralded as the "Rolls-Royces of the Southeast fisheries."
Jim Lindell’s quest for the perfect boat didn’t stop at commercial models. He envisioned and crafted the Skagit Orca, followed by the Lindell Sport Fisher and the collaboration on the Ocean Sport Roamer series. Each vessel promised a combination of supreme functionality and luxurious design, tailored to enhance the oceanic adventures for every enthusiast.
Today, under the stewardship of Jim and his partner Brian Kott, Lindell Yachts continues to innovate with a new line of sport-utility yachts. These vessels are not merely boats but personalized dreams brought to life, embodying rugged Alaskan fishing capabilities paired with the elegance of Puget Sound cruising.
At Lindell Yachts, every yacht is a personal journey. Tailored from inception to launch, each model promises a union of desires and functionality, crafted to stand the test of time and seas.
