RAILBLAZA

RAILBLAZA is a New Zealand-born brand with one of the more unexpected origin stories in the marine industry. Founded in 2010 by Ross Pratt, RAILBLAZA began as a simple solution to a very specific problem — Ross needed an efficient way to mount tools onto his ATV, so he designed a mounting system to meet his needs. Once completed, he realized this invention could be used in applications as diverse as paddlesports, marine, RVs, motorbikes, and much more. Pratt brought deep marine industry experience to the venture, having previously co-founded BEP Marine with his father in 1980 — a pedigree that translated directly into RAILBLAZA's engineering quality and marine-grade durability. The brand's signature innovation is the StarPort mounting system, a modular, quick-release platform that allows boaters to swap accessories in and out with ease. RAILBLAZA products are fiberglass reinforced for strength, UV stabilized to resist fading, and lightweight enough to make a real difference on smaller vessels. Their catalog spans rod holders, electronics brackets, kayak carts, camera mounts, drink holders, and dozens of other accessories — all built around the same universal mounting ecosystem. Manufactured in New Zealand and 100% vertically integrated across design, tooling, and manufacturing, RAILBLAZA is also committed to being an eco-conscious brand, reducing waste by using fewer materials that last longer. Today RAILBLAZA products are sold through distributors in nearly 50 countries, trusted by anglers, kayakers, and boaters worldwide.
