Pete and Ernie Harris founded Harris® in 1957 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, jumpstarting America's love affair with the pontoon boat. They pioneered many of the features we call standard on pontoons today, like aluminum tubes, motor pods, upholstered seats, and Harris' patented dolphin nose cone. Harris Pontoons are still built in Fort Wayne, with the care and craftmanship that their 60-plus-year history merits. Harris was the first company to bring pontoon boats to the market on a large scale, and we've long held a reputation as the industry standard for quality and performance. From the value-packed Cruiser series to the luxurious Crowne, uncompromising comfort and premium performance are standard.
