The Limestone Boat Company to Launch Its Aquasport Brand in the Canadian Market and Exhibit at the 2022 Toronto International Virtual Boat Show

“We are extremely excited for the opportunity to offer Aquasport Boats in the Canadian market,” said Scott Hanson, CEO of The Limestone Boat Company. “When we took on the Aquasport brand we recognized the importance of its history and how truly impactful the brand has been over the past 60-plus years, but we also had a plan for its future. Keeping in mind the refined ruggedness of the Aquasport hulls as well as its family-friendly amenities, we wanted to elevate the brand in its current market as well as push it to all-new markets. The Toronto International Boat Show is our first opportunity do so and our plans for growing the Aquasport Boats brand - as well as Limestone® Boats and the parent Limestone Boat Company - does not stop there.”

Aquasport Boats achieves a milestone under the ownership of The Limestone Boat Company as this is the first time in its history that its model offerings are being displayed to the Canadian market.
