Grady-White Boats, known for their high-quality fishing and recreational boats, is owned by Grady-White Boats, Inc., which has been a prominent player in the marine industry since its founding in 1959. The company was established by founder Glen Grady and his partner, Jim White, in Greenville, North Carolina. Over the years, Grady-White has built a reputation for producing durable, reliable, and comfortable boats that cater to both serious anglers and family boaters.
In 2000, Grady-White was acquired by the Brunswick Corporation, one of the largest marine manufacturers in the world. This acquisition allowed Grady-White to leverage Brunswick's extensive resources and expertise in manufacturing and distribution, further enhancing its growth and innovation in boat design and technology. Under Brunswick’s ownership, Grady-White continued to thrive, maintaining its commitment to quality craftsmanship while expanding its product lineup.
Today, Grady-White remains a leading brand in the boating industry, with a strong focus on customer satisfaction and community involvement. The company prides itself on its American-made products, emphasizing local manufacturing in North Carolina. Grady-White engages with its customers through various initiatives, including owner events and social media engagement, ensuring that boat owners feel connected to the brand and each other.
