My name is Sam Devlin and I'd like to briefly introduce myself and Devlin Designing Boat Builders. I'm just an average guy with a pervasive love of boats and the water. My Norwegian-Irish heritage may have something to do with it, or perhaps it was the "ship" bedroom complete with curved walls and a sea-berth that my father built for me as an infant, or maybe just the hours of play in a landlocked skiff at my father's marine store. Whatever it was, it's indelibly etched on my being. Upon finishing my college degrees in geology and biology and working a season on Alaskan tugs, I wanted my own boat. With that project, I was captivated with new ideas about boats. Though there is little new under the sun, I had lots of "what ifs" and "how abouts", and a burning desire to see what these ideas would look like and, most of all, how they performed. So in 1977, I pooled my resources and my energies and started “Devlin Designing Boatbuilders”. Over the years, it's grown from a backyard operation to a going concern with a good selection of boats in various sizes with a multitude of purposes. I have a good crew of craftsmen interested in producing a quality product they can be proud of. To date, we have produced more than 300 boats from 7ft. to 48ft in length.
