6.85mWalk Around

The 6.85m Walk Around is a mono-hull purpose-built for offshore reliability and stable handling, with a walk-around deck that gives you safe access from the cockpit right round to the bow — no clambering over gunwales chasing a hooked fish or dropping the pick. It is plate-built from 5083 marine-grade aluminium — a 6mm bottom, 5mm topsides and a 6mm transom — and the hull is foam filled and water-tight for positive buoyancy.

Rocket launchers, gunwale rod holders, a 45-litre live bait tank, a self-draining deck, anti-slip marine flooring, a bilge pump and LED navigation lights are all standard, and a 300-litre fuel tank gives it offshore range behind a single outboard of 200hp to 300hp.

Electronics and safety gear — navigation systems, sounders, display screens, radar, antennas and solar components — are available as optional extras and are fitted and commissioned here in Australia before handover.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What outboard engine size is suitable for the 6.85m Walk Around?
The hull is rated for a single outboard from 200hp up to 300hp, letting you choose the right balance of performance, efficiency and offshore capability for how you plan to use the boat.

2. Does the advertised price include a motor and trailer?
No, the listed price is for the boat hull only. A motor and trailer can be added as optional extras and customised to your preferred setup.

3. What are the advantages of a walk-around cabin design?
A walk-around layout provides safe, easy access to the bow, making anchoring, line handling and fishing more convenient. It also offers a practical balance between deck space and weather protection.

4. Is the 6.85m Walk Around suitable for offshore fishing?
Yes. With its offshore-capable hull design and marine-grade aluminium plate construction, it is well suited to coastal and offshore conditions when properly equipped.

5. What fishing and boating features are included as standard?
Standard features include gunwale rod holders, a 45L live bait tank, a self-draining deck, anti-slip flooring, handrails, LED navigation lights and a bilge pump, making the boat fishing-ready from delivery.

6. Can this model be customised with additional features or upgrades?
Absolutely. Optional upgrades include hydraulic steering, electric anchor winch, marine toilet, deck wash system, EVA teak flooring, electronics packages, trim tabs, and additional storage or seating.

7. Can this boat be built to commercial survey?
Yes — a commercial survey build can be ordered, but it has to be requested before construction starts and is quoted separately. It cannot be added to a boat that has already been built as a recreational vessel. See our boat survey guide for what that involves, including hire and drive (Class 4) operations.

8. Where are Sea Raider boats built?
Our boats are proudly assembled and finished here in Australia. The hulls are manufactured overseas by a trusted partner, and everything else — trailer assembly, motor installation, electronics and full fit-out — is completed locally by our team to meet Australian standards, including full compliance, registration and quality control.

9. What warranty do Sea Raider boats come with?
Each boat comes with a 5-year hull warranty and a 6-year warranty on the outboard motor.

10. Where can I view or test drive a Sea Raider?
We are based at Cleveland Marina in Queensland and regularly have boats available to view and test drive — contact us on 07 3477 9338 to arrange a time.

11. Do you deliver interstate?
Yes — we deliver Australia-wide. Interstate freight is quoted per delivery (for example, transport to WA is approximately $6,500 including cradling, insurance and road freight). Queensland packages include boat and trailer registration; interstate registration is arranged in your home state and is not included.

12. Do you accept trade-ins?
Yes, we accept trade-ins. Send through some photos and details of your current boat and we’ll take a look.

13. What are the current lead times?
Custom orders are typically 2–3 months. We usually have stock boats available for immediate pickup, and as a transom partner we can install a motor in roughly 1–2 weeks.

14. Is finance available?
Yes — boat finance is available through our finance partner. Ask us and we can guide you through the options.

15. Can I insure the boat through you?
Not directly — Sea Raider is not an insurer — but our insurance partner, New Wave Insurance, quotes and issues boat cover online, and no survey is needed on a new boat quoted online. See our boat insurance page. Sea Raider may receive a referral fee if you take out a policy.
