How It All Started

The SeaPiper brand was first founded in December 2014 out of a desire to create something special: a compact seaworthy boat with impeccable range and minimal maintenance needs, all packaged in a comfortable, economical, and trailerable cruise.

SeaPiper's Origination

Ritzo Muntinga, the original creator and designer of SeaPiper, sketched the first drawing on a napkin during a flight from Hawaii to California. The vision centered around a new trawler design with a nod to the styling of the old Dutch fishing boats and trawlers found in the North Sea.

A Beat of It's Own Drum

"Usually, a boat turns heads because of its undeniable beauty. But occasionally, like in the case of the Seapiper 37, it turns them because it’s just plain different. With all due respect, funky even."
