Uncontested as the premier vessel of Lake Erie, Lyman boats were manufactured in Sandusky in the 1930’s, when Lyman Boat Works relocated their facility to Sandusky from Cleveland. Lyman Harbor was then home to the Lyman Boat Works founded by the Lyman brothers, Bernard and Herman Lyman. In as much as was possible, many of the present day structures at the entertainment complex were built around the original architecture in order to maintain the atmosphere and historical significance of the Lyman name.

The Lyman vessel has long been known as a heritage and work of art for quality craftsmanship. Designed specifically for Lake Erie and its infamous rugged chop, Bernard Lyman designed and built the most famous clinker built boat of all time. Impassioned Lyman boat owners regard this location as coming home.

Today Lyman Harbor provides recreation and an enriching cultural opportunity for boaters and non-boaters alike. Waterfront dining, concerts, shopping, and a superb marina facility are backdropped by a stunning view of Cedar Point and the Sandusky Bay.

Much thought and pride has gone into the development of Lyman Harbor. We invite you to join us and envelop a bit of history while you relax and are entertained in the engaging Lyman spirit.
