Reviews

Great craftsmanship and great ride! Quality boat that has exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend Sportsman to anyone in the market!
Matthew & Tara
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
My Open 212 sportsman is a great boat that accommodates my offshore and inshore fishing needs. Sportsman has built a comfortable fishing machine. The boat handles well in light to small chop (2-3 fts). The Simrad electronics have great custom abilities to find any boat owner. Storage is good but over the top, good for an offshore vessel. Wiring and maintenance hatches allow for great room and ease of work. Overall, very satisfied as a sportsman owner.
