Predator Boats - A Boat Building Company Run by Enthusiasts
Predator Boats is a subsidiary of Douglas Marine Limited (www.douglas-marine.co.uk), a company owned and run by boating-building specialists and sea angling enthusiasts.
Ray and Chris Jackson
Ray is the Managing Director of Douglas Marine Limited. He is a chartered engineer who has had a life-long passion for boats and the sea, although he is currently "between boats" having recently sold his yacht "Kon-Tiki". Ray is also a keen angler, enjoying both sea and freshwater fishing.
Ray and his wife, Chris, established Douglas Marine Limited in 1999 to purchase and run Douglas Boatyard, where sea-going boats have been built and repaired for over 100 years. Predator Boats was established around four years later with the launch of the Predator 160, on which the best-selling Predator 165 Sea Angler is based.
