The voyage of Richardson Marine began with a love of boats, fishing, diving, and the South-West Victorian Coastline. While Ed Richardson’s nautical passion was apparent from a very young age. Ed wanted to build a boat for himself – for the Southern Ocean. What started as qualifying as an aluminium fabricator and boat builder led to employment in South Australia working on the fabrication of some of the most respected plate alloy boats for the recreational and commercial market. From there Richardson Marine was born – back home in Warrnambool, building totally individually customised plate aluminium boats and trailers, with a primary focus on build strength and quality, along with the right design for a quality ride in our unpredictable seas. And yes, finally, this included Ed building himself a boat! Although he’s lost count since that first one – as one of the aspects of Richardson Marine’s success has been a constant quest for improvement – improvements Ed takes seriously and tests for himself. The Seacruiser brand was a natural progression from custom-building, essentially creating a range of standard hulls and configurations – still with customised fit-outs, and still with the same focus on build quality, strength, and design. Every good boat needs a good engine, and Richardson Marine are proud to be a sole Suzuki Marine dealer. An engine brand doesn’t have the slogan "The Ultimate Outboard Motor " without good reason.
