  • •
    Take the scenic route to dinner and treat the ride aboard the Open 302 as part of the evening rather than just transportation.
  • •
    Use the wraparound bow seating, removable backrests, electric bow table and the insulated cooler under the console-front seat to turn the bow into a gathering spot for appetizers and cold drinks.
  • •
    Count on convertible seating, built-in storage and side entry doors that allow boarding from either side to carry the Open 302 from offshore fishing mornings to sandbar afternoons and dinner cruises with friends.

Dinner out feels a little different when the trip there is part of the evening. Gather the girls, leave the dock behind and take the scenic route aboard the Sportsman Open 302. In the Florida Keys, spending a little extra time on the water is an easy decision.

Our latest lifestyle video trades fishing rods for a dinner cruise, following a girls’ night out aboard the Open 302. It’s a look at another side of a boat designed to run offshore: comfortable, welcoming and ready for an evening with friends.

Comfort Worth Slowing Down For

An evening cruise gives everyone a chance to catch up before reaching the restaurant. The Open 302’s wraparound bow seating and removable backrests create a comfortable place to enjoy the ride, with room to sit together and take in the view.

When you stop to enjoy the evening, the electric bow table turns that same space into a gathering spot for appetizers and cold drinks. An insulated cooler beneath the console-front seat keeps refreshments nearby, so settling in doesn’t take much preparation.

Whether dinner is waiting at a waterfront restaurant or you’ve brought something to share aboard, the layout makes both feel right at home.

From Offshore Mornings to Evenings Out

The Open 302 was designed with offshore fishing in mind, but its appeal extends well beyond the fishing grounds. Convertible seating, built-in storage and side entry doors that allow boarding from either side bring everyday convenience to cruising and dockside stops.

For owners who enjoy a little of everything, that versatility matters. An early morning fishing trip, a family afternoon at the sandbar and a dinner cruise with friends can all be part of life aboard the same boat.
