The Seacruiser brand was born from a lifelong passion for precision aluminium marine fabrication — and today stands as a highly respected name in Australian made heavy-duty plate-alloy boats.

Founded by Wayne Howell and Ed Richardson, Seacruiser combines decades of hands-on experience in custom boat building. Together, they’ve crafted a range of robust, performance-driven boats renowned for their strength, quality, and reliability — trusted by serious anglers across Australia, even in the most remote waters.

Both Wayne and Ed honed their skills in Adelaide, SA, earning reputations for meticulous workmanship and a no-compromise approach to building boats that last.

Whether you're exploring coastal bays in the 4800, doing long river runs in the NT heat aboard the 6000, or island hopping aboard the 8000; the Seacruiser range has an option for you, crafted specifically to suit your needs.

From 2005-2010 upon moving back home to Warrnambool, Victoria, Ed set up as Richardson Marine, concentrating solely on custom-built plate alloy boats and trailers – built specifically for the relentless Southern Ocean. The fleet of custom built Richardson Marine built plate boats have forged their own reputations both locally and abroad, as some have come from afar to place their order. These reputations arise not through slick sales pitches or marketing campaigns, but simply experience of their owners, occupants and observers, whose word-of-mouth advertising rings a consistent theme: these boats are seriously tough, smooth-riding, brilliantly finished, and simply in another league to any plate boat they’ve been in.
