Expedition-style aluminium boats, landing barges and custom marine projects—designed for Australian conditions and backed by people who genuinely live life on the water.
Navigator Boats Australia was founded by lifelong boater Lloyd Miller and his son Ashton on a simple belief: adventure boats should combine offshore confidence, practical comfort and honest value.
After decades of boating, fishing and exploring Australian waterways, Lloyd had seen the same compromises repeatedly—capable boats without comfort, comfortable boats without fishing practicality, and premium boats priced beyond the reach of many Australian families.
“We measure success by the adventures our boats make possible.”

The Navigator approach
Premium capability. Sensible pricing.
Navigator brings together Australian design input, efficient international manufacturing and hands-on Australian completion. It is a deliberately transparent model built to deliver serious quality without the overhead and mark-up of a large production brand.
We do not hide where fabrication occurs. We focus on what determines the result: the design, specification, materials, supervision, inspection and the people accountable when your boat arrives.
In developmentNavigator 760 Expedition
The flagship direction
Built for the trip that lasts more than a day.
The Navigator 760 Expedition is being developed as a hardtop aluminium adventure platform for offshore fishing, extended stays and family exploration.
LengthApprox. 7.6 m
ConstructionMarine-grade aluminium
PowerTwin outboard capable
ConfigurationHardtop expedition boat
Offshore capability and predictable handling
Fishing practicality with sleep-aboard comfort
Solar, refrigeration, cooking and pumping options
Accessible systems designed for real-world serviceability
Concept specifications are indicative and will be confirmed for each customer project.
From brief to open water
Every stage has a purpose.
Quality is not a country of origin. It is a controlled process built around clear standards, careful checking and accountability.
01
Listen & define
We start with how you will actually use the boat: where you go, who comes aboard and what matters most.
02
Australian design
Hull, layout and systems are developed around Australian boating expectations and real-world practicality.
03
Detailed specification
Materials, equipment, finish and construction expectations are agreed before fabrication begins.
04
Specialist fabrication
CNC-cut marine-grade aluminium is fabricated internationally to the documented build specification.
05
Local completion
Fit-out, engines, trailer, electrical, plumbing and final systems are completed and checked in Australia.
06
Sea trial & handover
The finished vessel is inspected, tested on the water and handed over with personal support.

More than one model
Custom vessels for real jobs and real adventures.
Alongside the 760 Expedition direction, Navigator welcomes conversations about landing barges, practical commercial vessels and selected custom aluminium marine projects.
Every project begins with the intended use—not a catalogue. We work through load, access, layout, range, systems and budget before defining the right build.
