Silverton Yachts roots actually began back in the 1800’s with a German immigrant by the name of Henry Luhrs. In 1965, the company, Henry Luhrs Sea Skiffs was sold to Bangor Punta, a large timber conglomerate by is grandson, another Henry and his sons, John and Warren. In 1969 John and Warren went out on their own to buy a small builder named Silverton Sea Skiffs and became very successful following the same techniques their father had shown them. So today, Silverton, in Millville, New Jersey, is part of the Luhrs Marine Group. Silverton is a forerunner in the construction of aft-cabin family cruisers. The lines of yachts built by Silverton are convertibles, motor yachts, and sport bridge. These yachts measure from 35 feet to 51 feet overall in length. Silverton is one of the leading builders of aft-cabin family cruisers. Innovations such as the SideWalk, a molded stairway on the side of the flybridges, and newly designed interiors have brought the company into the new millennium with style and elegance without losing sight of value. Silverton will continue to expand and bring the mariner the best in boating.
