About Us
Crafting Human Powered Moments in Nature
Our History
Back in 1982 in the lakeside town of Muskegon, Michigan, Sun Dolphin began as a family-owned business crafting two-person pedal boats designed for simple, shared fun on the water. What started in a small production facility with a passion for getting families outside quickly grew into a trusted American brand known for durable, affordable, and easy-to-use watercraft. Fueling family fun for beginners and pros alike, our watercraft line has expanded beyond pedal boats. Today, we produce fishing and recreational kayaks, stand up paddleboards, canoes, pedal boats, fishing boats, and dinghies so everyone may enjoy the great outdoors.

Our Process
Designed, Molded & Assembled in USA – you’ll see it branded on every watercraft. We are proud to manufacture our products in the same city where our story began.
