NauticStar Boats for sale

NauticStar's Bay Boats are some of the best-selling center console bay boats in the United States and hugely well-regarded. Ranging from 18- to 26-feet they are rugged and durable, with a shallow draft, open fishing decks, and tournament-level accessories.

The Offshore range of center consoles are also tournament-level, and offer impressive fishability, speed, comfort, and a whole suite of amenities and storage. The five models range from 21- to 32-feet in length and can be customized to suit even the most serious of anglers.

The Legacy center console range brings a more multi-purpose fishing, cruising, and watersports option to the line-up, with three models—the 212, 252, and 292—built with a more pronounced bow flare for improved comfort and ride making it ideal for families. While the needs of serious anglers are met, and the Legacy range is undoubtedly high-performance, there are added comforts and features aimed at cruising and social use.

Aimed even further at those in search of fun and comfort is the Deck Boat range, one of the brand's most popular ranges. The current line-up, which runs from 19 to 24 feet, are can-do, versatile boats that are ideal for watersports, swimming, and cruising on the lake. Lastly, the Hybrid Range of center console boats are designed for use on both the bays and open water. They are multifunctional yet high-performance, family-friendly runabouts, ideal for navigating shallow waters and fishing.

While the current line-up of new NauticStar Boats is impressively large, there is an even larger number of previous models to be found on the used market. The latest models have built on the successes of previous ranges, and they offer good value for money when buying used.

 

Activities to do with a NauticStar Boat

NauticStar is one of the largest U.S. builders of performance fishing boats, family-friendly deck boats, and durable bay boats with an enormous range of models including hybrid boats and offshore center consoles. The company was founded in 2002 in Amory, Mississippi as a privately owned and operated company. It quickly went from its original two models in its first year of production, to offering over 30 models, a testament to the brand's popularity.

In 2017, NauticStar was acquired by MasterCraft Boat Holdings, a company which has been in operation since 1968 and is renowned for its hugely successful ski and surf boats. Throughout the years under MasterCraft, NauticStar continued to produce a line-up of well-regarded and broad-ranging models until it was announced that production would be ceasing in 2022.

A few weeks after the announcement, Iconic Marine Group (IMG), owner of both Fountain Powerboats and Donzi Marine, acquired NauticStar. While IMG runs all of its other brands out of North Carolina, NauticStar remained in its 200,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Mississippi.

NauticStar has always remained true to its vision, and today builds some of the most highly regarded deck boats, bay boats, offshore fishing boats, and hybrid boats in the 18- to 32-feet range.
