Owen and Joan Maxwell established Regulator Marine, Inc. in 1988 in an old
A & P Grocery Store in Edenton, North Carolina with the goal of building
the finest offshore sports fishing boats in their niche. The company now
operates from a state-of-the-art 60,000-square-foot manufacturing facility.
Regulator’s line of 23’ to 32’ offshore sportfishing boats
is recognized for high quality craftsmanship, rugged durability and offshore
performance. Regulator Marine, Inc. was recently awarded the 2005 National
Marine Manufacturers Association’s CSI award in the category of Fiberglass
Outboard Boats.
Regulator Marine is known
for its “open door policy,” where
customers can come to the factory and inspect the manufacturing process
firsthand. Their manufacturing philosophy is to strive for quality, not
production volume. Extensive employee training and empowerment of each
individual is also credited with their success and position as a market
leader in quality.
