Owner's Testimonials
I'm very satisfied with my Sportsman Boat. I get compliments on my boat all the time.
James
We purchased a Sportsman 267 with a 2nd station. Was looking for a boat that we could fish Intra Coastal but also venture out into the Ocean. The boat handles extremely well in rough weather and the ride is extremely smooth. If you are looking for a bay boat that you can use both in the Ocean and Intra Coastal this is the boat for you.
Mike
My wife and I looked for 6 months to find a large Bay boat that had everything we were looking for, multiple live wells and comfortable seating and a solid boat. After looking at 12 boats we chose the Sportsman. What a solid and confortable ride, we love it. We are definitely proud to show off our 267 when anyone comes to look.

The Sportsman 267 I just purchased with the stand through tower is everything I was looking for to fishing inshore and the bays in our area. Great all around boat...
Louis
If there is such a thing as an all around boat the Sportsman 26' is it ,Whether your cruising in the bay to eat at a restaurant for dinner, fishing in the bay or 30 miles off shore on a good day the boat can handle it safely and comfortably.
Walt
After reviewing multiple boats in the market and going to multiple boat shows I was trying to find a boat that I could not only fish with but use for relaxing with the family after reviewing sportsman I found that the quality of their boats was outstanding compared to most boats lots of boats were nice but not as complete as the sportsman once I purchase the boat the performance of the boat and the quality has been everything I expected I would recommend Sportsman Boats
Steven & Sandra
After being off the water for a few years, we wanted a safe and reliable boat for our family of four to enjoy, but something that could easily be handled by one person. Our Sportsman 212 open has met that need perfectly, and we couldn’t be happier with the boat and dealership. It runs dry for a 21 foot center console, and it seats everyone comfortably underway. We’ve been very happy with the ride and the quality of the boat, and it is truly turn-key with the integrated electronics.
Stephan
I was extremely happy through the entire boat buying process due to the professional and friendly staff at my local dealer. Thanks!
Veltre
We couldn’t be happier with our decision to purchase a Sportsman Boat. It has already provided us with countless hours of family fun on the water. The boat is the perfect platform for a day of fishing or a day of family cruising along the Florida Gulf Coast.

Sportsman Boats offer the most bang for the buck. I've checked a lot of other brands and none of them compare to what you get for the money. Very few boats come standard with any electronics installed and with Sportsman you get Garmin and JL Audio products standard! The quality of everything from the Gel Coat to the upholstery in excellent! My 212 Open series is perfect for our family whether cruising or fishing. Excellent ride! Very stable. We love this boat!!!
Jason
Our 212 has been a great boat to cruise around the Chesapeake bay!
Sean
Just purchased a Sportsman Open 212. Love everything about the boat. Great quality and design. Very well made. Solid in the water and can easily handle most conditions in the back bays or the ocean. Easy to maneuver open concept is great with plenty of space for fishing and family usage for cruising, swimming or just hanging out! Extremely happy so far with the purchase. Highly recommend Sportsman. If you haven't considered or looked at these boats yet, You should!! You will be very happy!!

Julie
This boat is so awesome! It packs every feature I’ve seen on much bigger boats and is laid out for fishing inshore or offshore! I’m very happy with the boat so far and would recommend Sportsman for anybody in the market.

Justin
My wife and I recently purchased the Sportsman 212 Open with a Yamaha 150. We researched many brands at boat shows in Norfolk, Raleigh, and Virginia Beach. The boat selection was extremely large and easy for us to compare a wide variety of 21 footers. We narrowed our search and proceeded with a sea trial In 2-3 foot choppy water. The boat felt solid for its size and weight and kept us dry. The 212 has high quality features that were matched properly and priced competitively. We are thrilled.
Kevin
I am totally satisfied with my sportsman 212 I was very thorough in my search for my boat almost three years and sportsman has fit every single detail that I was looking for it fits my needs in every possible way. I have had it in rivers, lakes, bays and the ocean. in comparison with other similar brands it gives as much quality but at a more affordable price. happy sportsman owner!!!
Barry
Completely satisfied with this boat. I handles rough water well and is a dry ride.
Donovan
Our 2020 Open 232 has been the perfect fit for us! We love fishing, diving, and just relaxing and our boat meets all of those wonderfully! There’s plenty of room to take our friends but it isn’t too big for just my husband and I to handle. We can get up into the shallows and handle the rough waters in the ocean. We have been thoroughly impressed with everything about our new boat!
Rachele
Sportsman Boats are everything you could ask for in a boat that is turn key ready to fish.
Jeffrey
I sold our 2 year old bay boat from another brand due to quality concerns/problems and was looking for a similarly priced boat with better quality and construction. The Sportsman 267 stood out and has not disappointed. The hatches are of better quality and seal out the elements better. There's no wood in the boat as I had seen all over our previous boat. Each pump, light, etc. has a dedicated switch and the helm is much more nicely laid out. Overall, we really love our Sportsman 267.
Daniel
great product: well designed, constructed. a real pleasure to captain. Really had the angler, in mind w/design. Great for family use. Represented by a dealership that exudes professional- excellent service. making the buying experience easy and fun.
Glen
Best boat. Would highly recommend. Had the 212 open for a few months. Then, upgraded to 232 open. Well worth it.
Corey
Amazing boat. Want something that is reliable and a lot of fun, get you a Sportsman
Ryan
We love our new Sportsman 232. The boat handles well and is well equipped. Fits 5-6 people comfortably while pleasure cruising. Fishes 4 people comfortably with plenty of space.
Nolia
Awesome buy. Runs perfect and I’m extremely happy. Thanks for making an affordable boat that was ready to go. My next boat will be a bigger Sportsman. I’m sold!

We were purchasing our first boat and did a lot of research into a lot of different brands. The Sportsman Open 232 checked all of our wishlist boxes and we have been extremely happy with our purchase.
Kimberlie
For the price and what was offered, this is a Great boat.
Charles
We love our new boat. It works very well for ocean fishing or pulling the grand kids around the bay in an inner tube.
Guy
The Sportsman 232 rides and handles great. The boat even runs well in rougher seas. Very pleased with the boat would definitely consider upgrading to a larger Sportsman.
Paul
I love this thing! I am on it almost every single weekend. Very simple to operate and super fun for both fishing and leisure boat trips!
Carlos
Sportsman builds the most solid boat available. Best in class!

Barry
On my second Sportsman boat! Both my island Reef and 212 open have been excellent boats with great ride quality and
great craftsmanship. When it’s time to upgrade again, Sportsman will definitely be at the top of my list!
Kyle
The boat exceeded our expectations for quality and performance. We would recommend this boat to anyone who wants a bay boat that you can tournament fish in one day and take friends on a dinner cruise the next.
Thomas & Susan
I absolutely love my Sportsman 267 masters. . there isn't a better designed bay boat in my opinion! I cant Say anything negative about the boat and I'm first one to bash a boat because I'm very picky when it comes to my stuff, I'll always have a Sportsman for my inshore boat, thanks for a great product!
Frideriki
I've owned a number of different bay boats in the past and the Sportsman I recently purchased is my favorite... Great layout, comfort, quality, & value... This is a lot of boat for the money... The boat fishes great and handles well offshore in rough seas... I highly recommend putting it on your list if you are considering purchasing a bay boat. .
Perry
My son and I enjoy the operation, style and overall usefulness of compartments that are necessary for boating enjoyment. This particular boat combined many features for overall fishing, diving and cruising on the water.
Leslie
Wow what a great total package for a 24ft Bay boat. This model has it all it's very family friendly and a serious inshore/offshore fishing machine. Ride is exceptional from a standard hull (non step). Every time we take the boat out we receive multiple compliments.
I cant believe the amount of storage available from bow to stern, I am able to almost stand inside the console (remember this is a bay boat). I can also climb into the rear storage/bilge access incredible. love the hard-top.
David
This boat can do just about everything I want it to do. I can fish the skinny waters of the bay for trout and redfish. On a good day, I can run miles offshore and fish for snapper, grouper, etc. When the family is aboard, we take it to the beach or sandbar and relax. Plenty of speed and power with the Yamaha 300. The electronics package is great. The layout of the boat is perfect for what I do.
Matthew
Masters 247 is a great all around boat. From pleasure cruising on the lake to wade fishing in the bay or chasing pelagics offshore it has been a pleasure and got the job done.
Christopher
I have owned several boats in the past and this boat by far is my favorite one!! the ride and layout is unmatched compared to other comparable boats. This thing rides like a Cadillac on the water!! I would recommend Sportsman to anyone who wants a great family friendly boat but also fishes in 1ft of water in back waters and can go 30 miles off shore with no problem. This is one of the best all around boats on the market for sure!
Michael
I researched for 2 1/2 years for the perfect inshore and near shore boat for North Carolina where it came down to a Sportsman 247. It is a fantastic platform for bow and stern casting in creek, river, sound, and ocean. Trolling with a 6 rod spread works well also. We have successfully fished the skinny to the deep waters. This platform was engineered to support the aggressive angler effectively and with all the amenities my wife and family can still entertain on it in a regal manner!!!
Francis
We are absolutely loving our new Masters 247 with the Yamaha 250 Vmax SHO motor!! This thing is a fishing machine, one minute we're in 40 feet of water bottom fishing and the next we're in 1. 5 feet of water catching Reds. We can't wait to take this boat offshore to get in 100+ feet of water looking for Grouper and Snapper. The boat handles like a dream, maneuvers as nimble as my old 18 foot boat! Even my wife got used to driving it extremely fast, after initially being intimidated by it's size.
