Päijän Boats Oy

About Us

Designed in Finland. Made in Finland. Päijän carries a legacy of over 100 years of boatbuilding expertise, passed down through generations. Since 1969, we’ve been refining the art of crafting the perfect rowing boat — making Päijän the oldest Finnish rowing boat company still in operation today. Each boat is built with pride, precision, and a deep respect for tradition.

Every Päijän is designed with purpose — from the curve of the hull to the placement of every detail. Built to be safe, durable, and easy to use, it’s like the Swiss army knife of boats: compact, robust, and endlessly versatile. With a wide selection of accessories, you can shape your Päijän into the perfect tool for your adventures. The round gel coat surface, covering both top and bottom hull, gives the boat its shine and makes it effortless to keep clean. Simply put: everything’s been thought through.

Our values

At Päijän, safety isn’t an afterthought — it’s at the heart of everything. Thanks to our patented double-shell hull structure, every Päijän is not only exceptionally stable but also unsinkable. The design meets CE certification standards and reflects our commitment to giving you peace of mind on the water. No matter the conditions, you can rely on your Päijän to carry you safely, every time.
