ABOUT SEA FOX

65 YEARS OF HERITAGE & FOUR GENERATIONS STRONG
Born and raised in Charleston, SC, the Renken family runs deep in the boating industry. It all started back in 1957 when current CEO Freddy Renken’s grandfather, Walter “Palsey” Renken, bought Halsey Boat Company, a wooden boat company located on James Island, SC. Ralph Renken (second generation), Freddy’s uncle, after graduating from the Citadel military college, went to work for Renken Boat Company along with his father, Palsey, and eventually his other two brothers joined (Carl and Kenneth Renken). The first fiberglass boat came out in 1960. Freddy Renken, third generation, and his brother Eddy started Sea Fox Boat Company in 1995 continuing the tradition without missing a season of manufacturing boats throughout the 65- year heritage.
Freddy is now joined by two of his daughters, fourth generation boat builders. Harlan (31) VP of Production and Tanner (27) Director of IT and Marketing. Furthermore, Christina Moore joined the company in 2017 as CFO and is contributing to the success of the company and women in the industry.
The future of Sea Fox is bright with a strong team, including Freddy’s long-term partners of 20+ years, Ryan Balderson, VP of Sales, and Chris Nemeth, VP of Engineering. Sea Fox has a new logo, new interiors, and new colors along with four new models. Every model will be marked with the 65-year crest with four triangles representing the four generations. Sea Fox now has a full line-up with 12 models ranging from 22 – 36 feet including bay boats, center consoles, dual consoles, and a side console. We aim to build boats with the fishing expert in mind while not sacrificing the comfort for friends and family. Our goal is to produce all the amenities you could need so that you can leave your worries at the dock. Looking to the future, Sea Fox has secured a spot on the Ashley River in Charleston, South Carolina to build a new state of the art 250,000 sqft boat manufacturing facility planned to be completed at the end of 2028.
