Harris Kayot Marine
Harris Kayot Marine is now celebrating its 50th
Anniversary producing the highest quality pontoon boats in the
industry. As one of the nation’s first pontoon boat manufacturers, we
offer a history filled with design innovation, distinctive styling,
unsurpassed comfort, and superior construction.
Founded in
1957 by two brothers, Pete and Ernie Harris, Harris Manufacturing
produced the first pontoon boats manufactured on an assembly line and
trademarked them FloteBote. Many of the Harris
FloteBote firsts are considered to be standards in the industry even
today. For example, the “Dolphin” nose cone was designed to slice
through the water without the requirement of splash fins. Harris was
also the first to electrochemically protect the aluminum fencing from
corrosion through a process known as anodizing. Many more firsts and
patents have come to pass since we first embarked on this journey to
produce the best pontoon boat in the world. The company has continued
its strong traditions by offering unique styling, luxurious comfort,
and design innovations that place Harris FloteBote among the elite
pontoon boat builders in the world today. Today, Harris Kayot continues to play a leadership role, continually
introducing new ideas and enhancements. We listen to our customers to
learn what new features are on their wish list. As a result, we keep
building longer-lasting, more comfortable, better performing boats.
In 2005, Harris Kayot became part of the Brunswick Corporation,
a Fortune 500 company. Brunswick is the world’s largest producer of
marine engines and boats. At twice the size of the next largest marine
company, Brunswick’s strength and expertise gives Harris FloteBote the
resources to employ the industry’s best people and allow them to fund
the ideas, innovations, and investments required to be the industry
leader.
Harris Kayot’s employees are committed to ensuring
that Harris FloteBote customers are completely satisfied. As a result,
Harris FloteBote’s customer satisfaction ratings are consistently among
the highest in the industry. See Awards.
Not only are we focused on quality, but all of our pontoons meet or
exceed safety and construction standards established by the United
States Coast Guard, the National Marine Manufacturers Association, and
the American Boat and Yacht Council.
Harris Kayot has an
outstanding reputation for quality, safety, and integrity for the past
50 years. We are supported by many of the top dealers throughout the
country. These dealers are backed by Harris Kayot’s quality and a
reliable service department focused on our customer’s satisfaction.
We
employ the highest caliber people and utilize only the best suppliers
of materials and components. Every Harris FloteBote pontoon is a
reflection of our commitment to quality craftsmanship and luxurious
recreation on the water. For more information visit www.harriskayot.com
