Bunker and Ellis – Downeast Yacht Tradition

Bunker and Ellis – Boats with beautiful lines and a teak/mahogany finish, Raymond and Ralph built 60 immaculate yachts and lobster boats from 1947 to 1978.

Our Hull Philosophy

”The answer for Maine lobstermen is NOT a lightweight v-bottom boat with jets, pods, or stern-drives.”

Ellis Cantilevered Seats

The patented Ellis Cantilevered Seat: The seats also move up/down and forward/aft with the flip of a switch located on the sidearm. They face in either direction and are roomy enough for two people.

Evolution Marine Shaft System

A long-running, low-maintenance, oil-lubricated shaft system that significantly improves speed, propeller efficiency, and fuel economy, while reducing hull vibration and associated noise levels.

The Ellis 36 UltraJet® incorporates a twin jet propulsion system that avoids lobster gear, provides impressive maneuverability, and reduces the overall draft, all on a seaworthy semi-displacement hull.
