The Egg Harbor Boat Company began as a sportfishing brand that in time evolved into a sportfishing yacht brand with designs taken from the yachts on their local waters, and the needs of the anglers and lobster boats in the bay. Tried and Tested for Quality and SeaworthinessThe first line to hold the Egg Harbor name was the Classic Egg. This was a 28-foot skiff that was a natural evolution on the 14-foot row boats that founding partners, John E. Lee and Russell Post, started their business with.Each boat built and designed by the Egg Harbor team in those early days was taken out into the natural inlets around their South Jersey coastline to test their seaworthiness and comfort in good and bad conditions.Short-Lived - But Long CherishedWhen the company folded under financial struggles, the company had designed and built approximately 850 hulls in varying lengths. In 1997, the company was retired, and the name was resurrected under a custom-built brand.In the early '70s, these fishing yachts transitioned from wood to fiberglass manufacturing and continued to create the best Jersey Style Sportfisher Watercrafts on the water.
