USCG COI TOUR & PARTY BOATS

Sculpin Marine Team - New Boat Trials

Made in the USA. Made to Work for You.

Sculpin Marine is a family-owned and operated business based in Bend, Oregon, a mountain town known for its abundance of lakes, rivers, and outdoor activities. Our expertise lies in crafting top-tier, Coast Guard-certified vessels engineered to withstand rigorous, real-world demands.

A Builder You Can Count On

Much like the construction industry, the boat building industry is filled with manufacturer’s that over-promise their build times, budgets and abilities to get certifications. We are known in the industry for our upfront build schedule, on-time deliveries and solid products.

Whether you are a budding entrepreneur, experienced Captain, or already running a water-based business, purchasing a tour boat can be a great investment. Establishing a profitable tour boat business requires careful planning, from selecting the right boat to navigating regulations and licensing requirements.

Experts Behind Every Vessel

The Sculpin Marine team includes dedicated professionals, from our licensed naval architect to highly skilled aluminum fabricators and experienced assemblymen. Our Fabrication Director, Lance, has been with us since inception and has been a Certified Weld Inspector for over 25 years in the aviation and marine industries. Our Chief of Operations, Miles, has been with us since 2017 and manages production.

Precision Crafted In-House

Our two manufacturing facilities span 22,000 square feet, with a boat yard in between. With state-of-the-art equipment and a streamlined production process, we construct our vessels from the ground up, guaranteeing superior craftsmanship and efficient turnaround times. This allows us to maintain strict quality control at every stage, ensuring each vessel meets our exacting standards before it hits the water.

SCULPIN MARINE ORIGINS

Cascade Cycleboats First Drawing of the Idea

From Cycleboats to Sculpin Marine

In 2012, we introduced the first-ever Coast Guard-certified human-power tour boat, launching our journey as Cascade Cycleboats. Since then, we have grown and evolved to meet the needs of tour operators nationwide. In 2020, we rebranded as Sculpin Marine to expand our offerings beyond pedal-powered boats and into a diverse range of commercial pontoon vessels.
