TRITON HISTORY


A Series of Industry Firsts.

Since 1996, Triton Boats have excelled at every level of tournament fishing, claiming every major prize and trophy since then. This drive for total performance spawned several classes of boats from all-out bass fishing machines to family-friendly Allure fish ‘n’ play models to our acclaimed lineup of Fishunter Deep Vs. Each is built with an eye toward quality, fishability and value that complements its trend-setting all-out performance.

Decades ago, Triton launched the first wood-free, all-composite fiberglass bass boat, the TR-21 Pro. But, we didn’t stop innovating at all-out speed. Today’s Triton boats continue the tradition of performance through innovation from a holistic approach.

Triton Boats

Triton was the first to include an integrated reboarding ladder—the ResQ™ ladder—as standard equipment on every boat, earning safety accolades. Comfort and convenience are also important, evidenced by our pioneering the “floating” cantilevered fiberglass console that expands legroom and the ease with which you slide in and out from behind the wheel. Finally, because we’re a fishing-first company, we were the first to flush-mount large-screen electronics into the console, negating the need for awkward aftermarket add-ons.

Triton Boats

It’s this comprehensive drive to create better, safer and more angler-friendly boats that carried through the years and keeps us at the top of our game, the industry, and the leaderboard.

We take that same passion and roll it into each bass boat, Fishunter Deep V and Allure fish ‘n’ play inside and out. The result is a stronger, lighter, more rigid foundation upon which you can build the boat of your dreams.
