The term Grady-Built means there's no
other sportfishing boat built like a Grady-White. Period.
Grady-White boats are products of a unique combination of
North Carolina's saltwater heritage, a culture of long-term
private ownership, a dedication to safety, and a keen
knowledge of sportfishing gained over years of experience.
Your Grady is built to last for years of enjoyment and
commands an excellent resale value.
Why Grady-Built?
"Good enough" just isn't good enough for a Grady. We build
security into our boats we hope our owners never have to put
to the test. The importance of self-bailing cockpits is
impressed on Grady-White craftsmen by North Carolina capes
named "Lookout" and "Fear." SeaV2 hull designs
are inspired by solid walls of white water across inlets
like Hatteras and Oregon. And the attention to order and
detail comes from fishing our boats from Canada to
Australia. Grady-Built security gives our boat owners the
peace of mind that is a huge factor in the pure enjoyment of
time spent on big water.
Private Ownership: Continuity and Focus
Eddie Smith, Jr., has owned Grady-White Boats since 1968.
Our president, Kris Carroll, joined the company in 1975. Our
company's only focus is offshore sportfishing boats. We are
fiercely dedicated to safety, performance and dependability
with a fervor that simply can't be matched by a subsidiary
of a conglomerate. We employ some of the best boat builders
in the world, and the long-term relationships with our
employees and dealerships support continuous product
improvement.
Dedication to Fisheries Resources and Coastal Environment
Eddie Smith has led Grady-White to be recognized as the
boating industry's leader in recreational fishing and
coastal environment issues. Eddie himself has been
recognized for lifetime achievement by the American
Sportfishing Association, and has also been honored by the
International Game Fish Association and many others for his
commitment. Many of the managers and other employees at
Grady-White are similarly dedicated to the long-term health
of fisheries and coastal areas. A Grady-White boat is truly
a symbol of dedication to the best kind of future for our
children, our fisheries and our waterways.
