Old Town Watercraft Celebrates 125 Years

The year 2023 marks Old Town’s 125th year of producing premium watercraft on the banks of the legendary Penobscot River in Old Town, Maine. To honor our 125th birthday, we would like to take a moment to celebrate this milestone with the release of a limited edition colorway called Gray Ghost. Gray Ghost will be available across a selection of the most innovative models in our line today. 

Limited Edition: Gray Ghost

Gray Ghost is more than just a new colorway. It celebrates Maine artistry, sharing the same name with the timeless trout and salmon fly invented by Carrie G. Stevens almost 100 years ago, which remains a favorite among anglers today. The Gray Ghost colorway is a nod to the past as we use our passion for adventure to propel us into the future.

The limited edition Gray Ghost colorway will be available in the following current Old Town Sportsman models only: 

Since it is our 125th anniversary, we will only make 125 units of each model listed above. Each of the limited edition boats will be permanently stamped with a number between 1 and 125 (near the seat), so you know you are one of the few owners of this unique kayak.

The limited edition Gray Ghost boats will start shipping to authorized Old Town dealers around April 24th, 2023. If you'd like to get your hands on one of these special watercrafts, check out this list of Old Town dealers who have ordered them. For those of you not located near an Old Town dealer, a small number will be made available for purchase on our website on May 16th, 2023.

Thank you for celebrating this milestone with us. Here is to another 125 years of innovation, quality, and adventure!
