For the first time in its history, Edencraft International has built a centre console. The all-new 655CC answers years of calls from serious boaters who wanted Edencraft's legendary performance in a layout made for fishing freedom.

Making its world debut this weekend, the Sydney Boat Show is the only place to see it before it hits the water for customers.

Edencraft is known for building boats to handle what others avoid. For decades, owners have asked for a centre console that could take the same punishment as the rest of the range, rough water, long runs, heavy loads, without compromise. The 655CC is the result: a world-class Australian-built boat designed for those who refuse to settle.

"Our customers have been asking for this boat for a long time," said Josie Eastman, Edencraft General Manager. "We waited until we could do it right. The 655CC delivers the ride, strength and safety people expect from Edencraft, with the open deck space only a centre console can offer."

  • First centre console in Edencraft's history
  • Built in Australia to commercial-grade standards
  • Proven deep V hull for a smooth, dry ride
  • Layout optimised for 360-degree fishability
  • Backed by a 10-year structural warranty

"This is a boat for serious anglers who want to fish anywhere, from a platform that allows unlimited versatility, with total confidence," said Josie Eastman. "When the weather turns, that's when an Edencraft earns its keep, and the 655CC is no exception."

The 655CC is more than a new model, it is a new chapter for Edencraft. And the proof is not in the brochure, it is in the way she rides. Be among the first to see it in the flesh at the Sydney Boat Show with Edencraft and Insinc Marine, the exclusive launch before it heads to customers.

Visit Edencraft with Insinc Marine at the Sydney Boat Show and step aboard the 655CC.
