The ride and handling of the 252 was the deciding factor in purchasing the boat. Fishing offshore in the Gulf of Mexico will throw out multiple conditions in one day and getting my family home safe and comfortable is why we chose Sportsman.

Letting Freedom Ring!

This is my 2nd Sportsman. Hands down the best boat on the market! JL audio, Garmin, and the dive door make my 252 the most versatile and user friendly boat! Not to mention how great it looks!

First Mate At The Helm!

I thoroughly researched boats for over a year before pulling the trigger on my Sportsman 252 Open, And couldn’t be happier! Meticulously thought out layout, attention to detail, and superior craftsmanship, at an affordable price point. Comfortable for my wife and four-year-old son, extremely capable 50 to 100 miles offshore with my fishing buddies. Proud to be a new member of the Sportsman family!

After over a year researching boat manufacturers, I pulled the trigger on a 252 Open! This boat is a fishing machine! Meticulously thought out layout and high quality craftsmanship! Super comfortable for my wife and four-year-old son, even more capable 30 to 50 miles offshore with my fishing buddies. Worth every penny. Proud to be a new member of the Sportsman family !!

Could not ask for a better boat. The perfect all around sportfishing and family machine. From the sandbar to the blue water, this boat does it all.

Always A Fun Time On Our Sportsman

We love that we can go offshore to fish in a smooth and comfortable ride, or go to the sandbar and pull up in our bad ass boat. Love the black hull and the tan seats. Beautiful boat and rides so nice.

Thanks Ralph

All round great boat. Had a problem with dive door leaking in heavy weather. Dealer never fixed it sent massage to sportsman and received an email back right away from Ralph Archer who at the time was on vacation. Ralph sent me a new door gasket. Thanks Ralph!!

Sunset Pano

Our 252 is the best looking bot on the water. Simplistic design and the best electronic/cockpit around. Performs just as well.

The layout and space. Great ride in all conditions. Very stable and solid under foot. Simrad electronics are the best! Autopilot is awesome.

Love the layout and the room this boat has. Great for fishing or cruising with friends and family. Great ride and very solid under foot. The Simrad electronics are the best. Had my dealer install autopilot and it’s truly made trolling easier! We love our Sportsman!

The Early Bird

My favorite feature is the dual simrad screens they just look amazin and it's so easy to customize the screen however you want

— Kevin

California 252

The dive door is my most favorite feature. My kids and I use it a lot to exit and board the boat for a swim or SUP. Second would have to be the sound system, which is always on!

Doggie Door

Hard to narrow it down considering it's one of the most well appointed boats I've seen. The electronics that came factory installed are amazing, but the dive door and the bow windlass controls make life easy. Love that boat.

SIMRAD electronics...best in the business

252's First Offshore Fishing Trip

Good size to tow and big enough to venture pretty far offshore with the twin 150s. We love the ride, overall performance, deck space, Simrad electronics, and all the comfort features. The quality of this boat is second to none. Happy to own a Sportsman.
