The Williams Boat Company Story

Red Williams began working in Fiberglass repair over 50 years ago. In the process of repairing various fiberglass products he realized he was repairing many boats due to poor manufacturing. Red believed better boats could be built that were "maintenance free." He finally began designing that boat in 1950 and soon the first Williams Craft Bream Fishing Boat came out of the mold. Over the years the Williams Boat Works has made many changes as advances in production capabilities and boat equipment improved.

Although many changes have been made in the factory, no changes have been made to Red's original goal: to build a "maintenance free boat." today the Williams Craft Bream Fishing Boat boasts a solid fiberglass composite hull with no wood to rot. It carries a lifetime warranty on the hull, transom and stringer system.

Williams Boat Country opened as a boat sales location as a means of distributing the Williams Craft Boats. Later they began selling other brands of boats to customers interested in other water sports such as open water fishing, skiing and bass fishing. Just after the turn of the century Kip Williams, Red's son and owner of Williams Boat Country, purchased several acres of land at the intersection of Hwy 231 and Eddins Road in Dothan, Alabama. He and his wife, Lisa, oversaw the construction of a 10,000 square foot building that would soon house a new Williams Boat Country which opened in the spring of 2003. Since that time Kip and Lisa have gradually added more lines and now Williams Craft is building open water fishing vessels in addition to the Bream boat.

In 2005 Williams Boat Country had the distinction of being in the top 10 dealers for several of their boat lines. They now have several hundred customers who have expressed confidence in William's service by purchasing boats from them. You too can have the same confidence of purchasing a great boat with excellent customer service to follow by doing business with Williams Boat Country in Dothan, Alabama.
