Captain Don McGee founded SeaVee Boats in 1974. Since then, the Miami-based company has earned a reputation for building custom, high quality, good riding, center console sport fishers. That hasn’t changed since Ariel Pared, Moises Rodriguez, and Ralph Torres bought the company in the 1990s. And their new flagship, the SeaVee 450z, might just be the angler’s ultimate sport fisher.
SeaVee 450z
The SeaVee 450z offers a sportfishing yacht’s performance, comfort, and tech, with the open design and functionality only a center console can offer. With a 45′ LOA and 12’6″ beam, the SeaVee 450z is the largest center console design in the company’s lineup.
Like all SeaVees, the 450z is custom-built to suit each owner’s fishing and boating lifestyle. Whether you need a luxurious island hopper or a competitive sportfishing platform, this boat can accommodate you and all your mates.
The SeaVee 450z is a powerhouse. It can be rigged with triple or quad outboards. Its quad outboard configuration and extra heavy-duty transom can accommodate as much power as you want, well over 2,000 hp. With quad Mercury Racing 450r engines, the 450z has a top speed approaching 70 mph.

Center Console Luxury
Whether cruising, sportfishing, or game fishing, the SeaVee 450z does it in style. The customer’s needs drove this boat’s design. From the spacious centre console to the huge cockpit and plush appointments—if you can’t get it on this fishing boat, you probably don’t need it.
The air-conditioned console offers seating for six. Two rows of comfortable teak, upholstered seats feature flip-up bolsters and armrests. The console can accommodate up to three 22-inch screens. The console features a unique, one-piece design, safety glass, an overhead kite box, a premium JL audio system, and an autopilot. each vessel can be customised to the customers’ needs and preferences.
Below deck, there’s a well-appointed galley with a custom, high-low table and wrap-around seating that converts to a full-sized bed. There’s a stainless steel sink, microwave, refrigerator drawer, and plenty of storage. There’s even a standup head with a built-in shower and lighted mirror.
The spacious aft deck was built for catching fish and having fun. It features four live wells and two 100-gallon (378 liters) fish boxes. There’s a comfy rear-facing mezzanine bench seat and a huge tackle storage area. Integrated doors on one or both sides (you decide) allow easy access to the water or the dock.
The bow has a 150-gallon (567 liters) fish box with overboard drainage and optional freezer plates. You’ll also find another live well and two integrated rod storage bays.
The front upholstered lounge seat sits low enough to feel secure and not obstruct the view from the console. It offers good back support, raised edges to keep you in your seat, and integrated armrests that fold up and out of the way.

With quad 400s, it’s in the upper 50s, depending on sea conditions and load. It’ll be fun to see what this boat can do with the Mercury 600HP V12s.
