Request more info
To start, we go through a deep dive exploration session to find out what your intended use is for the boat – who you’re going to be using it with, where you plan on using it and what you plan on doing with it. After we’ve discovered what you’re looking for in a boat, we’ll prepare a range of suitable boats on the water, ready for you to view, test drive and experience.
Test drive
You must feel comfortable and safe in your boat, which is why we believe the test drive is the most important (and often most overlooked) steps in a buyers boating journey. Once we’ve discovered what kind of boat would best suit you and your boating needs, it’s all about testing the boat on the water and experiencing the ride and handling. We will arrange a selection of boats that match your criteria and arrange a time that suits you to test each boat until you find the perfect fit.

The
Difference
What makes Grady-White different from other brands
The Best Riding Boat
Truth is, length for length, there is no better riding boat in the world. Other manufactures claim this but very few have the confidence to run their boats alongside a Grady – and for good reason. Its the SeaV2 hull design, exclusive to Grady-White, that delivers the safest, driest, and most comfortable riding boat in the world. Don’t just take our word for it though, we welcome you to come experience the difference for yourself.
The Happiest Owners
Grady-White have been recognised for #1 in customer satisfaction by every third-party evaluation ever performed in the industry. A statistic no other manufacturer in the world can claim. This is the result of a company who don’t just build exceptional boats, they also place a higher emphasis on the customer experience than any other brand. The statistics don’t lie, experience the difference for yourself.
The Highest Quality
It’s no coincidence Grady-White delivers more longevity and higher resale value than any other boat brand on the market. This is the result of a company that approaches everything they do with an exceptional attention to detail. This obviously includes better hardware, superior laminates, structural integrity, unsinkable foam flotation but that’s not all. It’s everything from the materials right through to the product design of the world-class engineers and craftsmen that makes their boats different.
