The Lundy family — carrying on a proud American tradition
Our Story
A Family Tradition of Craftsmanship
Waterman Industries of Florida, Inc. began as a family enterprise long before the Lundy family made it their own. The company was originally owned and operated by an uncle, and it was here that Leonard Lundy learned the craft — spending a full decade working alongside him before eventually taking over and renaming the company to Waterman Industries of Florida.
What started as one man's commitment to quality has grown into a full family operation. Leonard's wife and sons are now active in the business, carrying forward the great tradition of training the next generation that has defined this company from the very beginning. From uncle to nephew, then from father to sons — the same unwavering commitment to quality is what the many captains and crews who rely on Waterman Industries products count on every day.
Our continued success is built entirely on reputation. The men and women who fish commercially for a living are unforgiving critics — they need equipment that works every single time, in the harshest saltwater environments on the planet. Waterman Industries has earned their trust by never cutting corners, never compromising on materials, and standing behind every product we build.
What Sets Us Apart
Hand Assembled
After each piece is precision-machined, every Waterman Industries product is hand-assembled by our team. This combination of machine precision and human craftsmanship is what sets our products apart.
Custom Configured
Every product is customized to the unique needs of the individual using it. We match the correct motor and gearbox combination to ensure each product performs exactly to your specifications.
Stainless Construction
All products are manufactured from non-corrosive stainless steel and aluminum, built to withstand years of rigorous use in one of the world's most demanding environments — the open ocean.
The Family Behind the Brand
Built on Trust. Backed by Family.
When you order a Waterman Industries product you are not buying from a corporation or a distant manufacturer. You are buying from a family that has staked their reputation on the quality of what they build. Leonard Lundy and his family are personally invested in every product that leaves our Odessa facility.
Leonard's sons have grown up in this business, learning the craft the same way their father did — by doing the work, understanding the products, and listening to the commercial fishermen who use them. This generational knowledge is something no corporate manufacturer can replicate.
Our promise is simple. When you order a Waterman Industries product you are going to receive the best product available with a proud American family standing behind its quality — not just today, but for years to come.
