Scott Beim’s grandfather started selling soda that wasn’t always soda across New York and New Jersey during the Prohibition. With the 18th Amendment’s overdue repeal in 1933, he went into business distributing beverages of all sorts.
Scott’s father jumped in after returning from World War II, and Scott himself in the late 1970s, building the company into a 10-million-case beer distributor servicing much of North Jersey.
His sons Jake and Jesse are increasingly taking the reins as the fourth generation.
Last year, we delivered to Scott one of the first Lindell Yachts yet to grace the East Coast of the United States, a 41-footer powered by twin 600-horse V12 Mercury Verados. He got fast at work putting up numbers of striped bass, bluefish, fluke, and albacore around Sandy Hook and Raritan Bay—as well as venturing near and far to do battle with yellowfin and bluefin tuna ranging from a dozen pounds to a quarter ton.
Many of us felt like we knew intuitively that a Lindell would fit in among the downeasters, sporfishers, and center consoles that dominate the Atlantic Seaboard, but seeing is believing.
Scott gets asked who built his rig almost anytime he’s in it. We wanted to make this movie to show that our vessels will work as desired darn-near anywhere you take them. And we hope you take them far.
Please enjoy our first-ever Lindell Captains Club featuring Scott Beim, his impeccably well-mannered Jersey boy crew, and the gear-wrecking tunas of the Hudson Canyon.
