Grady-White Boats

Grady-White Boats has been building coastal and offshore fiberglass sportfishing boats in Greenville, North Carolina, since 1959. The lineup spans from 18 to 45 feet, covering center consoles, dual consoles, express cabins, and walkarounds. Every model is engineered with the signature SeaV2® hull design, a continuously variable vee hull known for providing a dry, stable, and exceptionally smooth ride in rough water.

The company transitioned to its long-term direction in 1968 when owner Eddie Smith purchased the business, later appointing Kris Carroll as president to lead daily operations. The manufacturing process centers on rigorous hand-laid fiberglass construction, functional design, and integrated safety features like unsinkable foam flotation. This focus on durability and structural integrity has established the brand as a benchmark for long-lasting resale value in the sportfishing market.

Customer feedback directly drives the layout and features of each new model, resulting in highly functional cockpits, well-appointed cabins, and integrated angling amenities. The brand consistently receives top industry awards for customer satisfaction and exceptional dealer service. By maintaining close partnerships with its network, Grady-White Boats focuses on delivering a reliable, premium ownership experience from purchase through years of heavy offshore use.
