Jasper Vermeulen is the passionate founder behind Jasper Marine Boats. With a deep love for boats and the ocean, Jasper has dedicated his life to creating top-quality marine vessels in aluminum. He strives to lead the aluminum boat industry in design and innovation.

Jasper’s upbringing in the pacific northwest had him immersed in the world of boats and the ocean, fostering a deep and abiding love for both. Growing up in a coastal community, Jasper was surrounded by the sights, sounds, and smells of the sea. From a young age, he spent countless hours exploring shorelines, learning about different types of boats, and developing a fascination with their design. After an initial career in high-end, custom stainless kitchen manufacturing and later as a certified “A” level welder in the Canadian oil industry, Jasper missed the ocean. Early exposure to the maritime world ignited a lifelong passion within Jasper and set the stage for his remarkable journey in the boat manufacturing industry. 

 Jasper’s 2 years work experience at Q-West Boats, a renowned company in New Zealand and a leader in the aluminum boat industry, has played a significant role in shaping his expertise in boat manufacturing. Exposure to manufacturing boats up to 120ft, designed for rigorous service in commercial open ocean settings, along with the high-quality standards set by Q-West Boat Builders, has greatly influenced the approach and commitment to excellence that Jasper brings to Jasper Marine Boats Ltd.
