Sylvan boats

Bob Hewes Boats takes pride in being a Sylvan dealer since 2023, fostering a strong partnership with the brand. Notably, one of Sylvan's dedicated employees, with 42 years of experience within the company, embarked on his marine industry career as the service manager at Bob Hewes Boats in the 1970’s.

The history of Sylvan is a story of passion for boating that spans five generations. Since 1903, Sylvan has been committed to crafting top-notch watercraft, sharing the joy of boating with families worldwide. The core values established over the years drive Sylvan's mission – to produce innovative, high-quality boats at affordable prices, complemented by exceptional warranties and customer service.

As a family-owned and operated business, Sylvan, under the same family leadership since its inception, has been a trailblazer in the recreational boating industry. In 1903, Sylvan challenged the norm by building aluminum boats when others were using wood, offering boats that were lighter, tougher, and maintenance-free.

The company continued its legacy of innovation, introducing fiberglass models in 1958 and the world's first high-performance aluminum fishing boat with a Deep-V hull in 1965. Sylvan pioneered high-performance pontoon boats and set standards with revolutionary HMX tubes.

The commitment to innovation is fueled by Sylvan's love for boating, evident in their constant evolution and development of new designs. The company's more than 800 employees, many of whom have been part of the Sylvan family for 30 years or more, contribute unparalleled skills and craftsmanship to every boat.

While Sylvan's designs have evolved, their meticulous attention to detail and dedication to quality remain unwavering. Sylvan invites the world to share in their love for boating, embracing their commitment and heritage with each watercraft they create.
