Seamaster, a revered name in the realm of boat manufacturing, was first established in the mid-1950s in the United Kingdom. Due to its high-quality designs and innovative technology, the company swiftly carved out a unique space within the boating industry. Known for their trendsetting cabin cruisers, Seamaster boats were primarily built in Brundall, a village in Norfolk which sits alongside the River Yare. The lush waterways of the Broads National Park served as a perfect testing ground for their sturdy, versatile vessels. They showcased a diverse fleet, including the Seamaster Cub, Seamaster 20, and the popular Admiral range.
In the 1980s, Seamaster was purchased by a well-respected name in the industry, Porter and Haylett of Wroxham. During this time, they continued to manufacture their prestigious, iconic models. However, the original Seamaster site in Brundall closed down and operations were moved to Potter Heigham. The Porter and Haylett era also saw the introduction of the very modern Seamaster 813 and the revamped 30 range.
The turn of the century brought several changes for Seamaster. In 2001, the Birchwood Marine company acquired the entire Seamaster portfolio. As of today, Seamaster boats are predominantly built in their factory in Broadland, Norfolk, allowing the pleasant memories of the brand's origin in the Broads to live on. Despite changes in ownership and location, Seamaster has upheld its reputation for manufacturing reliable, robust, and quality boats cherished by boating enthusiasts worldwide.
