Owner's Testimonials
I have the 23 foot heritage. Great boat for fishing and family time on the water. My kids love it, its comfortable doesnt spray you while running just overall a great boat. I would recommend sportsman boats for anyone who wants a nice comfortable sports fishing/leisure boat nothing else better on the market for both!

Bought the boat in June of 2017 new, performs flawlessly and does well in the ocean with an impressive ride. The electronics from SIMRAD are fantastic and their integration into the boat as part of a unified system is an impressive feature that brought me to Sportsman. Many who have seen the boat have stated that I got the boat at a steal in regards to what other manufacturers similarly spec'd would have charged, I agree. No issues to report thus far.

My sportsman center console is an awesome family enjoyment fish killing machine. My wife loves to lay out in front while I slaughter kings, mahi mahi , wahoo, Bonita, and everything that eats my baits in the back. My boat is like an Alabama fan with a mullet business in the front and party in the back. Love my boat !!!

This is my first boat purchase so i don't have another experience to compare it to but i must say that I am very happy i picked a Sportsman boat for my first boat. The entire process was fantastic, from selecting the right boat, the sales process, delivery, etc was more than i expected. Being more specific about the boat itself i couldn't be happier, the amenities, the technology, and the ride are fantastic. Very easy to control, the ride is smooth, and everything seems to work perfectly!

Solid feel and great performance. Took delivery of the boat in Niantic, CT and sailed it home to Warwick, RI. The Heritage 231 took everything the Atlantic coast could throw at it in April. Couldn't be happier with Sportsman.
Matthew
We are absolutely loving our boat. The Sportsman was an answer to everything we wanted and it's as pretty on the water as it was at the boat show. Solid boat with amazing upgrades!

Picked up a Sportsman Open 232. Great value for the price. The boat has done great so far. Has handled some rough seas in Long Island sound and has proven easy to drive and dock. Feels very stable when under way and when drift fishing. Has lots of features at a good price point. Equipped with the 200hp Yamaha which gets it on plane quickly and has great efficiency.

I took the new boat on its first offshore trip Labor Day. Went 40 miles out, caught lots of fish, and the boat handled beautifully. The fit and finish on Sportsman boats is phenomenal, and the ride is especially good for a 23-ft. boat. I couldn't be more pleased. Sportsman gets 5 stars, as does the dealership.
Ausband
Very pleased with purchase of Sportsman 232. Looked at several other makes and models before moving forward. Was questioning a bit b/c they are a fairly new manufacture, but after doing some extensive research, the concerns disappeared after seeing both owners were from previous known makers & seeing features that come standard vs extras from others. Called Sportsman directly with questions prior to purchase and they were great- - I could hear the passion and enthusiasm over the phone.
Robert
Overall great experience with purchasing the boat from start to finish.
Brian
The features of the open 232 is the best value. I looked at 5 boat manufacturer s and Sportsman got my cash
Roy
Our third boat. Really like the Sportsman 232. Very well equipped and handles very solidly in Chesapeake Bay waters. One of the best points is the Simrad electronics package. Highly recommend for a mid-range fishing and recreation boat.
