Company history

The company Smoker Craft from the USA, founded by the Smoker family, is known, first of all, as a manufacturer of small aluminum boats for fishing and utilitarian use. Its history began in 1921 with a small family business Smoker Lumber Company, which manufactured oars and components for the manufacture of wooden boats. In 1963 the founders of the company decided that the time had come to build their own boats. In contrast to wood, which was common in those years for small boats, they chose aluminium for their boats. Above all for its sturdiness, lightness and low maintenance requirements.

«We are not just shipbuilders. We're boat lovers, just like you. For five generations, our family has been creating the best boats that can be bought with money to share the joy of living on the water,"»says the Smoker family.
