It all started on a cold December day in 1969, when John
and Warren Luhrs established Silverton Marine Corporation.
In less than 40 years, our yachts have become prized
throughout the world. The company has been able to
preserve a tradition of craftsmanship while its competitors
have yielded to influences contrary to product quality and
dependability. It has risen above its early image as a
manufacturer of cheap boats to become the acknowledged
value leader in its class.
Silverton accomplished this success by listening to its owners’
preferences. By the continual investment in new
construction technology, in sophisticated design and
manufacturing equipment, in facilities, and in people with
the same passion to excel that spurred John and Warren
Luhrs. The company has come to be recognized as a premier
mid-sized bridge-boat builder, whose day-in and day-out
dedication has achieved unsurpassed performance, comfort,
and value.
Silverton is committed to the notion that the achievement
of product excellence is not an impossible task, but rather
one that can be accomplished by progressive management in
collaboration with dedicated dealers, manufacturing
partners, and owner-employees. We also subscribe to the idea
that successful product lines are not fixed and unchanging,
but evolve in response to changes in technology, boating
habits, and owners’ wishes. At Silverton, we are evolving,
excelling, and leading
