Grady-White Yachts

Founded in 1959, Grady-White has a legendary reputation for designing and manufacturing fiberglass fishing boats in Greenville, North Carolina. With North Carolina’s saltwater heritage and detailed design, Grady-White coined the term “Grady-Built”. Grady-White has a history of long-term, private ownership with Eddie Smith, Jr. owning and managing the company since 1986. Recognized for lifetime achievement by the American Sportfishing Association, Smith has led the company to be an industry leader in recreational fishing and coastal environment issues. Grady-White’s exceptional attention to detail and commitment to safety provides peace of mind with features like self-bailing cockpits and C. Raymond Hunt Associates-designed SeaV2 hulls equipped to handle solid walls of white water. Using the finest materials available, Grady-White’s in-house designers, engineers, and craftsmen work together to create a line of boats that are solid, affordable, safe, and ready to perform in the roughest waters.
