The Canyon Bay way
Half the weight. Inches less draft. Nothing to rot.
Every Canyon Bay starts as hand-laid Kevlar below the waterline and carbon fiber above the sheer, with zero wood anywhere in the hull, transom, stringers or deck.
We build for serious anglers, charter captains and owners who want a boat spec’d exactly the way they fish. No two Canyon Bays are the same.

How we build
Kevlar & carbon fiber. Zero wood.
No. 1
Kevlar hull
Kevlar absorbs impact by flexing and returning to shape instead of cracking. Hand-laid in overlapping sheets and saturated with vinyl ester resin.
No. 2
Carbon fiber deck
From the sheer up, carbon fiber is the structure, not a reinforcement strip. It cuts weight without cutting strength.
No. 3
Built to order
Fiberglass stringers molded to the hull, no wood anywhere, and every boat built one at a time to the owner’s spec by the crew in Perry.

Owners
In their own words
“Well built and rides very good in a chop. I was impressed at the fishability and stability.
Lucas M., 28H
“We towed her behind our larger vessel to the Bahamas in March, breaking 8 ft plus waves the whole way. Rinsed her off and enjoyed her for two weeks. Not a single issue.
David K., Fort Lauderdale
“I sure do love my Canyon Bay. She is perfect for my smallmouth and striper charters in Tennessee.
Daniel K., 24B
