The
three naval architects who started the naval architecture
firm Bristol Harbor Group, Inc. got into the business because
they loved to create something from scratch. Designing a boat
to fit a specific need and do a particular job is what they
love, and they have invested all their passion, knowledge
and experience in their new line of family fishing and cruising
boats.
“We
looked at the boats available in the small cruiser market
and felt there was a niche we could fill,” explained
Tyska. “”For over ten years we’ve been fulfilling
other people’s dreams and now, with Bristol Harbor Boats,
Inc. we like to say: It’s your turn!” With classic
lines, a comfortable ride and an attractive price, the first
of the 21 foot center console models was finished at Bristol
Harbor Boats, Inc.’s facility, in June of 2006. The
line will include a 19 foot center console and 21 foot to
27 foot models that the client can order either as a center
console or as an express cruiser.
