Our Founder
Jerry Barron 1955-2025
Our Story
The Barron name has been part of the boating scene since way back in the ’60s — ripping across lakes and rivers all over the Southwest. It all started in the days of custom flat bottoms and ski racing, when the Barron family got known for building fast, reliable boats that looked great and ran even better. Jerry Barron and his dad, Nick — an icon in the boating community — turned that passion into what became Hallett Boats.
After his dad passed, Jerry knew there was more for him to achieve. So in 2017, he brought the family name back with a fresh take — and that’s how Barron Boats was born. It’s all about honoring the past while pushing things forward.
Now, Barron’s building a tight lineup for fun on the water. With modern tech, sharp design, and a focus on giving boaters an awesome experience from start to finish, the team’s all in on setting a new standard for the next generation.
Our Mission
At Barron, we’re all about getting back to what really matters — time with family, chasing adventure, and connecting with the new places that are still out there. We’re building on our roots, but looking ahead, too. To us, our boats aren’t just about good looks or cool features — they’re built to help you Conquer Further.
Here’s what drives us:
Fresh Experiences – We’re always pushing to bring something new to the table. From unique designs to smart features and customization options, we want every Barron boat to open up new ways to enjoy the water — and new places to explore.
Trusted Performance – Safety, quality, and performance are baked into everything we build. Our goal is to deliver a product you can count on, every time you hit the water.
Real Value, Long-Term – We’ve got your back. From the first ride to years down the line, we’re here to make ownership easy, fun, and worry-free — so you can focus on the good stuff.
Our Team
We’ve been around boats for a long time — it’s in our DNA. Our crew, from the shop floor to leadership, knows the ins and outs of custom boat building because we’ve lived it for years. Everyone here — employees, partners, vendors — brings real experience to the table, and it shows in the quality of what we build.
We’re proud to call Southern California home, with easy access to the water right in our backyard. That gives us the perfect testing ground — and with top-tier design and manufacturing tools at our fingertips, we’re able to build boats that truly deliver.
