Jupiter Outboard Boats… Worlds Apart

With over 35 years of boat building experience, the Jupiter Team is committed to building the finest, most technologically advanced offshore sportfishing boats available today. Every Jupiter is individually built to the exacting specifications of the sportsman who demands the very best in offshore performance, styling and reliability.

Jupiter boats are built under the direction of Carl Herndon, Jupiter's president. Herndon is best known as the founder and CEO of Blackfin Yacht Corporation and former president of Bertram Yacht where he earned the reputation for building some of the world's best and most respected sportfishing yachts. The Jupiter team includes many of the same experienced managers and skilled craftsmen who have worked with Carl over the years in a proven tradition of providing maximum offshore performance, superior quality, and meticulous craftsmanship in the boats they build. You will consistently find Carl on the production floor today ensuring the product line is consistent with today's technology and the finished product meets the expectations associated with the Jupiter name.

Jupiter was founded in 1989 in Jupiter, Florida and named after that prestigious coastal community. The company relocated in 1998 to a larger manufacturing plant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This facility, previously occupied by Blackfin Yacht Corporation, allowed the company to grow its product line, improve the quality of workmanship, increase efficiency and become more competitive.

In 2007, Jupiter relocated to its current facility on the gulf coast of Florida to once again expand its production line in anticipation of its Express line of vessels. This 50,000 sq.ft. facility allows Jupiter the space needed for three lines of production, mold storage, paint booth and expanded office space.

If you are looking for the finest sportfishing boat this planet has to offer "one with great looks, fantastic seaworthiness, speed, quality construction, and a resale value second to none" take a ride on a Jupiter.

We invite you to visit our Palmetto, FL manufacturing facility, located just 30 minutes from either the Tampa or Sarasota International Airport, to see first-hand why Jupiter is the best-built boat on the water.

We look forward to building one for you.
