Corporate Overview:
Pelagic, Inc. manufactures, markets and distributes the premium Pelagic brand of high performance men’s, women’s and youth sport fishing & ocean inspired active wear, sunglasses, footwear, headwear and other sport fishing related accessories.

Pelagic is a 15-year-old apparel brand that was born in the waters off Newport Beach, California out of the pure love for sport fishing & ocean sports, and its dire need to have a proper brand of clothing that represents the lifestyle. Being a water-based sport, the style is much akin to the surf industry, albeit with the technical focus primarily on the needs and demands of sport fishing & ocean enthusiasts. Many of our products were developed to provide a strong defense against the harsh elements of the ocean environment - featuring water, wind, and sun protection, with a ton of style and functionality.

Aside from being a leader and innovator in the US sport fishing & ocean lifestyle market, the Pelagic brand name is well-known and admired across many different cultures around the world – wherever you find marinas, boats, and ocean-lovers, you will find Pelagic products being worn proudly by some of the world’s most passionate and influential consumer groups.

Over the last few years, the sport fishing & ocean lifestyle industry has taken off with many companies targeting this “trend” - at Pelagic, this is no trend, this is who we are and what we do – for 15 years and counting… and we strongly believe that we have just barely scratched the surface of this emerging global market
