Our History


    We are not going to take much of your time, yet we appreciate your interest. Explorer Boats began production in the fall of 1969 in a community, Spring Hill, just south of Lake Navarro Mills. We remain in production in Navarro County.
For over 30 years, we have custom built the strongest, highest performing boats ever built. Regardless of what they were: canoe, party barge, bass boat, combo fish and ski, race boat or now our Saltwater Fisherman Series, Tunnel Vee, Full Tunnel, Flatsmaster, Attackaflat or the new 17' HIGHSIDE.

We have custom built each and every boat to the customer's specifications and we still do. We have never and never will operate a production line. True we cannot build three or four hundred boats a year as many manufacturers. So what, this is our business. It is your business to know how want your boat built. We take take our boat building seriously because we know if you are considering an Explorer you take your fishing serious.

Explorer Boats mean quality, performance, value, dependability, and affordability with a smooth dry ride. Thanks again for your interest in Explorer Boats. See you in the skinniest.
