Premium aluminum boats by Bad River Boats, gold sponsor at The Great Outdoor Show.

About Us


BadRiverBoats, founded in 2020, originated from the necessity to transport workers to remote worksites in Northern Ontario. The company's primary objective is to design and manufacture high-quality aluminum boats tailored for various applications, including construction, ministry, commercial use, and recreational purposes. Our purpose is to provide safe and reliable water travel experiences, with a commitment to craftsmanship and customization that meets the expectations of our customers who enjoy the great outdoors.


Our added value

The customization process allows us to meet the unique specifications of each owner, providing a personalized and durable product. Flexibility, adaptability, and the craftsmanship of our hand-welded products make us stand out in the industry.


Our successes


· Our biggest successes are reflective of our commitment to innovation, strategic partnerships, and community impact. One significant achievement is our successful partnerships with industry leaders like Yamaha and Suzuki, showcasing the quality and reliability of our boats that are often featured at events like the Sudbury Sportsman Show.


· The acquisition of intellectual property rights for our custom designs, including The Cottager and landing crafts, highlights our dedication to craftsmanship and uniqueness in the market. Our team's growth, spanning from design to fabrication, with unmatched skill in welding and fitting, has been a cornerstone of our success. This growth is not just in numbers but in the depth of expertise and commitment each team member brings.


· Introducing new custom models has been another success, demonstrating our adaptability to market demands. Our presence at home shows and the Great Outdoors Show has helped us stay ahead of industry trends. Leveraging government-funded programs has provided increased capital, promoting both labor and manufacturing initiatives. This strategic utilization of resources has resulted in tangible benefits such as enhanced production capabilities, job creation, and a positive impact on the local economy.

Amanda Lynn Mayhew - That Hunting Girl, owner of Just Hunt Inc., which operates @takemehunting and stars on the TV show "That Hunting Girl," will be at this year's Great Outdoor Show, taking place from April 11-13th at the Garson Arena in Sudbury! 


Come meet and chat with this iconic Canadian hunter at the home show! 


We are thrilled to have her with us for the entire weekend! 


Here's a little about Amanda Lynn: 


Purpose-driven hunter Amanda Lynn is one of the top female hunters in the industry, dedicated to encouraging, educating, and promoting women and children in our hunting heritage. 


Hailing from Northern Ontario, Amanda Lynn Mayhew is an extraordinary outdoorswoman and the mastermind behind Just Hunt INC. Her remarkable achievements span various disciplines, solidifying her status as a true all-around outdoor enthusiast and role model. 


Amanda Lynn's accomplishments in the hunting world are inspiring, as she continues to break down gender barriers in a traditionally male-dominated industry like hunting. Her TV show, "That Hunting Girl," aired on the Sportsman Channel, serves as a platform to showcase her skills and inspire others to pursue their passions fearlessly, both solo and through the Take Me Hunting Outreach Program. 


Her story is a powerful reminder that perseverance and passion can lead to great success, regardless of gender. 


Don’t miss your chance to meet this outstanding and empowering hunting icon at the Great Outdoors Show, and learn from the pro!
