Revival Boats create value-focused family fishing, lifestyle and off-shore-oriented craft that are meticulously hand-crafted in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne, Vic. Launched in the wake of the GFC, Revival Boats is the creation of founder, Sam Catanese, former captain of iconic Aussie boat brand, Stejcraft. Rather than merely replicate his previous efforts, Sam started with a clean sheet and crafted a tougher and more versatile family of hulls  that could cater to every environment and boating experience. The 2018 fleet comprises 9 models from 5.25m to 6.5m each with unique editions that span a vast array of boating options and offer unrivalled value in their respective markets.

HOW LONG HAS REVIVAL BEEN AROUND?

Revival delivered it's first boat, a R525 Cuddy, 10 years ago in Mid-June, 2008. The company has crafted around 1500 hulls in it's Melbourne-based facility since that time. Revival Boat's founder, Sam Catanese, has designed and constructed countless thousand of hulls in his six decades as a local boat builder and many of his early creations (some in timber) are still plying the waters today.
