Grew History
Uncompromised Quality backed by 126 Years of Tradition

In 1882, on the quiet shores of Georgian Bay, Gidley Boat Works began working on a product that would revolutionize the Canadian boating industry forever. In the late 1920's a local craftsman from Penetanguishine named Arthur Grew took over this operation and was instrumental in forming a company that is still a leader in the industry today - Grew Mfg. Taking the finest materials he could gather, and applying his time honoured skill as a Master boat builder, Arthur Grew catalyzed a Legend that continues to this day, over a century later. From those small beginnings, to our state of the art production facility, Grew continues to provide boat consumers everywhere with the highest quality boat possible.
