Sailfish Boats mourns the passing of its founder, Paul Hoppes, who set out to build a fishing boat brand that stood for quality, value, and fishability in 1986. His passion and hands-on approach have been instrumental in Sailfish's 40 years. Paul's legacy lives on through the numerous dealers, thousands of Sailfish owners, and the hundreds of employees he influenced.

Sailfish Boats President & CEO, Rob Parmentier, proudly announces the addition of two new dealers to the family - Jacobs Yachts in Bradenton, FL and Pocket Yacht Company with locations in Jensen Beach, FL and New Bern, NC. The partnership with these dealers reflects Sailfish's commitment to quality, affordability, and customer-centric focus. Mark Schulstad of Pocket Yachts Company states, "Sailfish fits the niche and needs we were looking for," while Daniel Jacobs of Jacobs Yachts praises the personal relationship and custom feel Sailfish provides. With the upcoming Suncoast Boat Show, excitement is building to showcase Sailfish's exceptional boats.
