If you get up early enough to watch the morning light enter the harbors of Downeast Maine, you will see the local lobstermen on their way out for a long day of hard work. The lobster boats they navigate are built for practicality, safety, and comfort.
A lobsterman has to have a boat that is comfortable to work from in any sea condition. explains owner Don Ellis. The boat is always moving, and the fisherman is working hard; there is a lot of stress on the knees, back, and feet. It is no coincidence that a boat that works well for the commercial lobsterman is also going to be comfortable and safe for coastal cruising...
Safety and style are built into each Ellis 36' Lobster Yacht and Lobster Cruiser. With an Ellis boat not only will you travel in style and comfort, but you will feel secure in the knowledge that you are in a boat designed to handle rough Maine waters.
