A Legacy of Innovation and Style
Founded in 1956 in Austin, Texas, by Bob Hammond, Bill Gaston, Bob Shoop, and Guy Woodard, Glastron Boats quickly gained fame for their innovation in fiberglass boat manufacturing. The company played a pivotal role in revolutionizing boat design as we knew it, offering sleek, stylish, and performance-driven models, becoming iconic in the boating industry. Glastron boats have even starred in Hollywood films, including a memorable chase scene in the James Bond movie Live and Let Die, which showcased their speed and agility, not to mention putting them on the map – if an iconic character like Bond drove a Glastron!
Versatile Boat Lineup for Every Boating Adventure
Glastron’s lineup includes bowriders, deck boats, and cruisers, ranging in size from 18 to 25 feet. Designed to suit a variety of boating needs, Glastron boats are ideal for day cruising, water sports, and family outings. Some of their popular models include the GT Series (like the GT 185 and GT 245), known for their sporty design and performance, and the GX Series (such as the GX 195 and GX 215), offering premium features and style. The GTD Series deck boats, such as the GTD 205, are designed with spacious layouts perfect for social gatherings and family adventures on the water.
What sets Glastron apart is their commitment to quality and design. Glastron boats are built with hand-laid fiberglass hulls and a unique composite stringer system, ensuring superior durability and stability. Their patented SSV® (Super Stable Vee) hull design enhances stability, cornering, and fuel efficiency, providing a smooth, ride every time. Each boat is fitted with marine-grade upholstery and comfortable, stylish interiors that are able to withstand conditions on the water without compromising on performance.
