A quiet cruise at sunset. A laid-back sandbar gathering. An early morning run offshore. The best days on the water deserve better sound than just a Bluetooth speaker and a phone in a cupholder.

That’s why every Sportsman Boat comes equipped with our purpose-built SportTuun® system—a premium marine audio setup featuring Garmin Fusion® head units and JL Audio® amps, speakers and subwoofers. It’s more than just loud—it’s designed to sound incredible in real-world boating conditions.

Engineered for Your Boat

Unlike off-the-shelf systems, SportTuun® is designed specifically for each model. Working directly with the teams at Garmin and JL Audio, we tune every boat’s system to match its layout and acoustics. From the helm to the bow to the rear seating area, every zone delivers balanced, crystal-clear audio with rich low end and zero distortion.

At the core is the Fusion Apollo™ series head unit—complete with touchscreen controls, wireless connectivity via Fusion-Link™, and features like AirPlay® 2 and Wi-Fi® audio streaming. Boats 26 feet and up get the flagship MS-RA770, while 25 and under feature the MS-RA670 standard with upgrade options available.

Serious Audio Performance

Powering it all is JL Audio’s marine-grade hardware, including M3 or M6 speakers, subwoofers and MVi amplifiers. These components are saltwater-rated, UV-resistant, and built to last. Even better, the MVi amps include digital signal processing (DSP), which allows us to fine-tune your sound profile before the boat ever leaves the factory.

The result? Clean highs, deep lows and a system that just works—no fussing with settings or volume zones. Whether you’re underway or anchored up, the audio stays consistent and immersive.

Built-In, Not Bolted On

With SportTuun®, there’s no aftermarket guesswork. Every wire, amp and speaker is installed at the factory by our trained team. The system is clean, integrated, and tuned to perform right out of the box—just one more way Sportsman makes boating more turnkey.
