The SEACRAFT Story
A Legacy of Fishing Excellence
For veteran saltwater anglers, the name SEACRAFT® evokes a response of reverence, one of respect for a brand that has profoundly shaped the history and evolution of the modern sport fishing boat. No other brand has done so much to change the principles of hull design and few, if any, can claim the level of seaworthiness for which SEACRAFT is acclaimed.
SEACRAFT has been an innovator since its beginning, living on the cutting-edge of
engineering and design excellence. Its team of boat builders was led by the legendary
Carl Moesly, an engineer whose vision created a hull so unique, so ahead of its time that
even today, measured against all the competitors that have come since, it is still considered
to be the best midsize seagoing boat ever built! The secret behind this renowned softer ride
is the Variable Deadrise, Longitudinal Stepped V Hull, a
SEACRAFT exclusive that has only been further refined over time and updated with modern
construction materials and techniques.
Another SEACRAFT innovation was the introduction of a unitized grillage—a structural grid system integrating transverse frames and longitudinal stringers. When bonded to the hull, it makes the entire structure stronger and far more rigid than earlier stringer system configurations. Again, this was such a revolutionary development that it remains the industry standard to this day.
Though designs and technology have evolved over the years, the limited-production SEACRAFT boats we build today still retain the elegant appearance, unmistakable classic lines and very best features found in the original boats—boats still coveted by fishermen today. Today, the unitized grillage system and transom built into every model are 100% composite construction, using new materials that add years to the boat’s lifespan. Now built in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, SEACRAFT boats are built to higher standards than ever before.
For over three decades SEACRAFT has built a legacy of fine fishing boats, and we take great pride in carrying on that tradition.
