New 2009 Angler Boats

Angler Boat Company

Angler Boats, as a company, is unusual, perhaps unique, in that it has operated under the same leadership for over thirty years. In the beginning, two men, Elio Grillo and partner, Cooper Camp, were working in a boat factory, as the plant manager and sales manager respectively. Every day they would arrive at the factory early and leave very late. The work was hard but the men were doing what they loved.

Eventually, these men decided to pool their resources to start building boats, their own way. Cooper Camp had the connections and knew how to sell the product. Elio Grillo knew the suppliers and the workers who could build boats. The working conditions in the beginning were humble, a loaned building on the Miami River. They labored long and hard just as they had in the factory. This however was a labor of love, designing, constructing and producing what were to be the very first Angler boats. Angler Boats was founded during the oil crisis. Petroleum products such as fiberglass resin, were difficult to obtain, but Grillo's supplier conections came through for the fledgling company. Even before their product was completed, five South Florida boat dealers requested delivery of the first Angler Boats. Thus the Angler Boat Corporation was born.


Since that day, Angler Boats has gone through many changes. One of the original founders, Cooper Camp has since retired. The designs of new hulls, decks, and other essential boat parts are created with powerful computer software. Angler Boats, once built in a small building, are now built to exacting specifications in a new state-of the-arts 103,000 square foot manufacturing facility. With models ranging in length from 17 to 31 feet, Angler Boats has a boat for every boat enthusiast.


While many changes have taken place at Angler Boats, there are some things that will never change. The company still operates under the same leadership that it has for the past thirty years. The company's financial strength provides Angler Boat owners with an unrivaled confidence in their investment. It's what makes Angler Boats one of the leading manufacturers of quality, ruggedly built boats on the water.


Every Angler Boat hull that rolls off our assembly line carries the promise that Angler Boats strives to build the safest, strongest, most technologically advanced, longest lasting boat possible.
