What happens when a lifelong passion for the water collides with cutting-edge design and fearless innovation? In this episode, we sit down with Brian Gonzales, founder of Orion Boatworks, to explore how he’s rewriting the rules of performance boatbuilding.
Brian shares the story behind Orion’s rise, from bold ideas sketched on paper to fully realized vessels that are shaking up the center console market. We dive into the challenges of bringing a new brand to life in an industry dominated by legacy names, and the unique vision that sets Orion apart: blending craftsmanship, speed, and a relentless pursuit of perfection.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to disrupt the boating world—or why Orion is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about names on the water—this conversation delivers the inside story.
