The Nichols Group has been at the forefront of the Australian boating industry since Roy Nichols established the boat building company in 1946.

It also was way back then that the name Nichols Bros. became synonymous with an unrelenting commitment to design excellence and manufacturing quality.

The Nichols Group launched the Cruise Craft brand in 1960 and its first fibreglass model in 1967.

Today with around 14 Boat of The Year titles as well as other accolades to its credit, Cruise Craft still continues to lead the industry in design excellence, innovation and quality.

Walk-around, cuddy and half-cabin styles, sports bow-riders and runabouts today proudly bear the Cruise Craft name.

It’s a label of quality, it’s a label that defines excellence.

Cruise Craft continues to enjoy a long association with Yamaha’s class leading outboards.

Over the decades, both Cruise Craft and Yamaha have evolved and their product offerings have developed to meet the demands of the market. Drawing on cutting edge technology has been a priority for both companies.

The Yamaha range of four-stroke outboard engines are the number one choice for serious boaters everywhere. Yamaha offers an unmatched reputation for reliability. Yamaha’s class leading design and innovation delivers superior performance and fuel efficiency under all conditions, whether that’s heading offshore to chase some serious fishing action or just a relaxed weekend on smooth water with the family.

Cruise Craft and Yamaha work in close partnership during the testing and evaluation of new products. All new Cruise Craft and Yamaha combinations are tested at Yamaha’s facility in Brisbane to determine the optimum propeller, engine height and rigging set up for each boat in the Cruise Craft range. This “power matching” procedure means Cruise Craft customers can be confident that their Cruise Craft boat will be set up perfectly first time every time.

Matt, F360M

I have just taken delivery of a Cruise Craft F360M and I got to say I couldn’t be more pleased. I ordered the boat from Brent and the team at Wynnum Marine. The building process was seamless. Communication from Brent was excellent and even though I made quite a few changes and asked for a few custom extras nothing was a problem. The fit and finish on the boat are world-class. The fish ability of the 360M is amazing. The boat feels big, it’s got loads of room for fishing and massive amounts of storage but at the same time, everything is at your fingers. The 360 is equally at home belting into bay chop or riding ocean swells, the hull feels safe and reacts in a predictable manner in all circumstances.

Recently had a Cruise Craft Explorer 720HT built. The boat has absolutely exceeded all my expectations. Everything is so practical and well thought out. I had it out Australia day chasing tuna. It got rather rough. Never feeling unsafe, the boat handled it with ease as much as I was a pain during the build process, changing things due to it being a hamburger with the lot. Nothing was too hard for the factory or the dealership Streaker marine. Both parties were highly professional and helpful. I can't speak highly enough for all involved—one extremely happy customer here.

I have just received my Explorer 635HT, and it has lived up to the name and reputation. When I bought this boat, I knew it would be my forever boat and am so happy I went with Cruise Craft. The finishes are second to none, the support I had through the process from Cruise Craft was terrific, the extras are all top of the range there is no scrimping on cheap products all the best of the best, and I have had so many comments about how good the boat and the Easy Tow trailer look.

James, F360S

New South Wales
After tirelessly searching for a well-built Australian made fibreglass centre console, I couldn't go past the F360S. It's perfectly suited for the conditions offshore on the coast of Sydney, and I don't think any other Australian centre console comes close. Paired with a Yamaha outboard and Garmin electronics, I know I am using reliable equipment fitted to maximise my F360’s performance. The F360S is a real head-turner on the water and at the ramp.

Chris, Explorer 635HT

Queensland
As a pretty novice boater and even more novice fisherman, I was looking to get my young family out more often and in a bit more comfort for longer trips. I've taken it out deliberately in some poor conditions, and the boat handled the swell and wind far better than myself and the passengers! In good conditions, it is just magnificent. The old saying that you get what you pay for isn't always right these days, but I reckon the value for money for the quality and peace of mind with a Cruise Craft is spot on.

Peter, Explorer 720HT

Queensland
I have taken delivery of a new Cruise Craft 720HT, replacing a 625 Explorer HT. What a boat! The Quality of finish from Bow to Stern is faultless. All the electronics placement are very well thought out and so usable. The boat at sea is very sure footed, and reassuring in big water, it makes you feel safe. The team at Cruise Craft could not do enough, nothing was too much trouble from start to finish. The dealership, Wynnum Marine are very professional , helping speck the boat to my needs. Thanks again to all involved at Cruise Craft and Wynnum Marine the boat is over and above all expectations you have one very happy customer.

Nathan, F360M

New South Wales
The process was made extremely easy by dealing with Graeme from Barclay Marine, from ordering my F360M and choosing the huge range of extras to the final delivery and excellent handover. The detail in the finish by Cruise Craft blew me away the boat has been built to the highest of standards possible. Looking forward to many enjoyable years in my new Cruise Craft F360M

Mario, Explorer 568 ST

Adelaide
Rob Clark and Yamaha Pitmans Marine were fantastic to deal with. Their after sale service has been great and I highly recommend Yamaha Pitmans Marine for the purchase of a new or used boat.

Trent, Explorer 720HT

Western Australia
The vessel is an absolute machine, the ride is comfy in any conditions! The finish and layout is exactly how I expected it to be, AMAZING! The Garmin electronics are better than expected and the 300 Yamaha with electronic steering WOW. It is spacious enough for my family of 5 for island hopping or heading offshore for a fish with the lads. I would recommend this vessel from the beginner to the experienced fisherman!

Brendan, Explorer 568 ST

New South Wales
Very pleased with the service and presentation of my boat on pickup. Everything was ready when I arrived, there was a small problem with the trailer plug but the guys fixed it straight away. I’ve always liked the Cruise Craft soft tops I think they’re a stunning boat and ride really well. I’m stoked that I’m now a Cruise Craft owner.
