History and shipyard
Campion Marine was founded in Kelowna in 1974 by Gordon Elliott and Ross Jardine. It grew into one of Canada’s best-known independent boat builders and has operated from the Okanagan region throughout most of its history. Public company profiles and company materials describe Campion as a long-running family business with production and engineering carried out at its Kelowna base. Reports in the boating press also note that the company was later sold to new owners and that its manufacturing footprint changed after the sale.
Model range and design
Campion builds fibreglass powerboats for family cruising, watersports and recreational use. Its model families have included Explorer boats, Allante runabouts and cruisers, Chase performance boats, and Svfara wake and surf boats. Company material also highlights a recent redesign of the product line and a focus on innovation, while industry coverage has linked Campion with composite construction and environmentally focused manufacturing initiatives. The brand is commonly associated with lightweight, performance-oriented small boats rather than sailboats or large yachts.
