From the Great Lakes to the salt
Why one brand for two very different waters — and what they have in common.
People sometimes ask why 3H Marina spans such different water. Freshwater salmon on the Great Lakes and pelagics off the Florida Keys don't have much in common on paper. For our family, they're part of the same life.
Where it started
Jeffrey R. Hubbard grew up on the Upper St. Mary's River in Sault Ste. Marie, where the river links Lake Superior to Lake Huron. His parents were strong advocates for boating and for the organizations that protect Great Lakes history, like the Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society. Today the family calls Grosse Ile home on the lower Detroit River, with roots in Cheboygan on the Straits of Mackinac, in Toledo on Lake Erie, and in Marathon, in the heart of the Keys.
One standard
Whether you're running a charter out of Cheboygan or cruising a flybridge through the Keys, you need gear that handles sun, spray, and long days. That's why the 3H Marina collection leans on UV-protective, moisture-wicking performance fabrics that look just as right at the dock as they do on deck.
And whether the catch comes from fresh or salt, we follow the same IGFA-minded principles of fair chase and ethical release. Respect for the fish, and for the water, is the common thread.
