Blount Boats, Inc. is a full-service shipyard specializing in design, construction and repair of steel and aluminum vessels up to 220 feet. Founded as Blount Marine Corporation in 1949 by Luther H. Blount (1916-2006), the company is privately held and managed by the Blount family.</br>
After Luther Blount built his first boat, a 77’ steel catamaran, he bid and won a job to construct a fuel oil service vessel using the same catamaran concept based on two cylindrical floats which he dubbed the “twin tube.” This design was succeeded by a progression of larger and more complex vessels resulting in a quantum expansion of the shipyard.</br>
One of the most famous vessels built at the shipyard was the 130-foot, 600-passenger Miss Liberty. Built in 1952, this boat carried over 60,000,000 passengers from Manhattan to the Statue of Liberty for the Circle Line.</br>
Today, the Blount family is carrying on the Blount tradition and is charting a course to remain a strong, innovative and successful leader in the marine industry.
