Owner Stories

What owners
say about Stuart.

Stuart owners run these boats up and down the Eastern Seaboard and out to the islands. Here is what they say.

Owner review photo of a Stuart moored in a harbor at sunset
“
It was blowing 30 knots, with a seven-foot north swell and the current going against the wind, stacking up the chop on top of the swell. Pretty nasty, but the Stuart 23 handled it like a champ at 17 knots. I love the boat and use it 3 to 4 days a week in all conditions.

We took it offshore twice in a solid 3 to 5 washing machine, blowing 15 to 20 knots. She ate it up. Super solid boat, not one hull slap at all.

the coast.

Over 30 years in the marine industry taught me what works and what doesn't. Quality construction using modern technology, shaped into a timeless beauty. That's what this boat is.

This is the third boat I've had built and the fourth I've owned, and the experience with Stuart has been everything I hoped for from a small semi-custom builder.

We've enjoyed running our Stuart in the Chesapeake and she's handled the short chop beautifully, a solid, comfortable ride. We get quite a few looks and compliments on the boat, too.

I was downsizing from a custom 50' sportfish and looking for the same fit and finish I had in the bigger boat. I loved the boat the minute I saw it.

Giddy-Happy, those are the words that come to mind at how I feel being the owner of my 23 Stuart. Boating 50 plus years, owning everything from a small Dory to Trawlers. I have experienced every type of bottom, deep V to flats, planning to full displacements. The design and engineering of Stuart Boatworks hull is brilliant!

We towed her from Fort Lauderdale through pretty rough head seas to the Virgins, and she towed well without tracking back and forth. We couldn't be more pleased.

A friend in the industry arranged a sea trial and I was immediately sold. Stuart Boatworks and the team hit a home run. The quality of the workmanship is exceptional.

After several seasons and a few hundred hours behind the helm of "Guardian Angel," I feel as confident in her abilities and seaworthiness as the day of my deposit.

As promised, the ride through chop is exceptional. It's much easier now to get my wife to go fishing!

We needed a versatile 27, shallow enough draft for the low water we get into, but a hull that would cut the 2-foot chop that blows up almost every Summer afternoon in Apalachee Bay. This is that boat.

This boat was purchased by Joe Sebring (my boat partner) for use as a tender to our Hatteras just a few months ago. […] WHAT A FANTASTIC BOAT!

We couldn't be happier with our new 27. From the first meeting to taking delivery and using the boat, it's all been a great experience.
