Bayliner

Bayliner is an American boat manufacturer known for producing a wide range of recreational powerboats. Founded in 1957 by Orin Edson in Seattle, Washington, Bayliner quickly became a major player in the boating industry, offering affordable and accessible boats to a broad consumer base. The company is currently owned by Brunswick Corporation, a large manufacturer of recreational products.

Bayliner’s product line typically includes runabouts, cruisers, deck boats, and fishing boats. The brand is often associated with value and ease of use, making it popular among first-time boat owners and those seeking affordable boating options. While historically known for lower price points, Bayliner boats are designed for recreational use on lakes, rivers, and coastal waters.

Over the years, Bayliner has faced both success and criticism. Its large production volume and focus on affordability have made boating accessible to many, but the company has also been subject to scrutiny regarding the quality and longevity of some of its models. Despite this, Bayliner remains one of the most recognizable names in the recreational boating industry, continuing to produce and market a variety of boats globally.
