DISCOVER PARADIGM
CRAFTED WITH PURPOSE. POWERED BY PASSION. DESIGNED TO DISRUPT.
At Paradigm Boats, we don’t just build boats — we’ve lived them. Before we ever laid fiberglass or welded a frame, we spent decades riding, repairing, and selling boats across the marine industry. We know what works, what breaks down, and what’s missing — because we’ve been behind the wheel, chasing the perfect ride.
Paradigm exists because we got tired of compromises. Tired of seeing boats built for volume, not for people. So we set out to build the boat we always wished existed — one that delivers on every promise, without cutting corners.
PARADIGM ISN'T JUST OUR NAME — IT'S OUR PROMISE
We’re here to challenge the way boats are built. To reject mass production in favor of intentional design, rider-focused features, and boutique craftsmanship.
This is a paradigm shift — not just in performance, but in the experience itself. We’re building boats for people who expect more from their time on the water. People like us.
Because we’re not here to follow the industry standard. We’re here to raise it.
MEET OUR FOUNDER SCOTT BUCHANAN
Scott Buchanan has spent over 30 years in the boating industry, working hands-on in sales, service, and customer support. Over the years, he heard the same frustrations again and again — customers wishing they could find a boat that truly did it all. One that was reliable, spacious enough for family and friends, and capable of delivering all the fun and performance features without sacrificing quality.
Eventually, Scott decided to do something about it.
He founded Paradigm to build the boat he knew people were asking for — and couldn’t find anywhere else. A boat designed with intention, built with integrity, and engineered to handle everything from high-performance surf sessions to laid-back cruises on the lake.
“We’re not just building boats.
We’re building the future of time well spent on the water.”
— Scott Buchanan, Founder
