Dakota Boat Retriever

Transformed a single fishermen’s boat retrieval concept into a safe, functional, and production-ready product.

Two avid fishermen, Jim and Guille, set out to solve a challenge faced by solo fishermen everywhere – how to launch a boat and park your vehicle when you’re by yourself. The duo contacted APTUS and shared their idea and early mockups of the boat retriever with aspirations of making it into product. APTUS worked with them to prototype and refine the idea, address safety concerns, and design the aesthetics. APTUS was able to help Jim and Guille take their their idea into production.
