What Steiger Craft does

Steiger Craft is a family-owned boat manufacturer headquartered in Bellport, New York, founded in 1972 by the Steiger family and currently operated by Alan Steiger. The company designs, hand-builds, and sells fishing boats across 17 models in two lines — Pilothouse (Peconic, Miami, Annapolis, Fisherman series) and Center Console (Classic, Tournament, Chatham series) — ranging from 21 to 31 feet. Core engineering centers on a Deep Vee hull optimized for rough-water handling and "largest-in-class" fish-ready cockpits, with optional integration of SeaKeeper Ride Model 450 boat leveling systems. Standard propulsion is supplied through a core partnership with Yamaha (F250NSB, F300NSB, F350NSB outboards). The company is positioned as Long Island's largest remaining boatbuilder, emphasizing traditional styling, hand-built construction, and durability for serious offshore and inshore fishing.

The business model is B2C hardware sales delivered through an authorized dealer network spanning the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Midwest (dealers include Buzzards Bay Marine, D&R Boat World, Annapolis Boat Sales, Diamond Marine, Great Bay Marine, and Erie Marine). Customers can configure boats through an online "Build Your Own" tool covering motor packages, hull colors, seating, and accessories; final pricing and purchase are routed through dealers and pricing is not publicly disclosed. Marketing relies on regional and national boat shows (NY, New England, Miami, Atlantic City, Norwalk, Newport), the dealer network, the website configurator, and email/newsletter signups, with selective community sponsorship (e.g., Manhattan Cup tournament).

The primary customer segments are serious recreational fishermen seeking high-performance, fishing-feature-rich hulls, and family boaters seeking versatile layouts that combine fishing capability with leisure comfort. The company has no disclosed external investors or parent organization, no public listing, and operates within a 11-50 employee band. Revenue, financials, and unit volume are not publicly disclosed; the company remains privately held by the Steiger family at the original Bellport manufacturing site.
