about us

Hey there. We're Derek and Meghan, owners of Higgins Boat. We started Higgins Boat because we have a passion for exceptional rum and a deep respect for military service, having multiple veterans in each of our families.

Higgins Boat is more than just a premium spirit – it’s a tribute to military history and a force for positive change. Every bottle not only delivers an outstanding taste experience but also supports veteran causes, particularly PTSD treatment programs.

We’re not just making rum; we’re creating a community that celebrates adventure, honors sacrifice, and toasts to a brighter future. Cheers, friends.

why "higgins boat"?

The Higgins Boat, officially known as the LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel), was a vital innovation that helped win World War II. General Eisenhower once said, "Andrew Higgins is the man who won the war for us." We chose this name to honor the ingenuity, bravery, and teamwork that these boats represent.
