Navigator History

Since the early 1960s, Jule Marshall has been building fiberglass boats in California for use on the West Coast. Today, much like in the beginning, you’ll find Jule living out his passion in his Perris, California boat yard. Jule’s father built boats before him, and he and his sons, Steve and Gil, carry on that tradition.

Jule was raised in Newport Beach where he still resides with his wife, Bonnie. He oversees the entire boat building operation, along with his two sons, who have been involved in the business since they were youngsters.

The Navigator and Californian boat lines are classically designed with value in mind. Skilled craftsmanship and quality materials are the focus of this American-owned and American-built company. Since 1988, the Marshalls have built over 1000 high quality, semi-custom pilothouse yachts. Their focus for creating a unique and superior product remains unchanged.
