What Our Boaters Have to Say…

It was blowing 30 knots here, with a seven-foot north swell and the current going against the wind, stacking up the wind chop on top of the swell. Pretty nasty conditions, but the Stuart 23 handled it like a champ at 17-knots, which seems to be the sweet spot in rough conditions. I love the boat and use it 3-4 days a week in all conditions.

I have been working in the marine industry for 30 years. Over that time I learned many boating lessons, good and bad, what works and what doesn’t. Quality construction using modern technology shaped into a timeless beauty…

Ft. Lauderdale, FL

We have been a boating family for over 30 years, with frequent trips to the Fla Keys, but our main stomping ground is the forgotten coast area of Apalachee Bay, near Lanark Village, Dog Island, and Carrabelle, Fl. 

We were looking for a boat that would be truly versatile.  We needed one in the 27’ range that had a shallow draft for the low water situations we get ourselves into, but a deep V hull that would cut the inevitable 2 foot chop that blows up almost every afternoon in the Summer in the Apalachee Bay…

I loved the boat the minute I saw it at the Miami International Boat Show and spent a few minutes with Bob Chew going through the boat talking about Stuart Boatworks. I was downsizing from a custom 50’ sportfish and was looking for the same fit and finishes I had in the bigger boat…

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Stuart Boatworks and you in particular for all that you have done during and after the build of my new Stuart 27.

This is the third boat I have had built, the Fourth boat I have owned and the experience with Stuart has been everything I had hoped for from a small semicustom boat builder…

Just a short note to tell you all at Stuart Boat Works how much my wife and I are pleased with our 27.  As promised, the  ride through chop is exceptional.  It’s much easier now to get my wife to go fishing!

Have been getting a lot of compliments on the boat! We took it off shore twice in a solid 3-5 washing machine blowing 15-20 knots. She ate it up. Super solid boat not one hull slap at all!

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!

Stuart23 Boat
Stuart23-Blue Logo

Muscular in appearance, the Stuart 23 feels like a lot more than a 23’ boat with a freeboard that is an average of 2” deeper than what is found on the Stuart 27. This boat was originally conceptualized as more of an inshore or nearshore vessel.

Given the boat’s sturdy construction and rounded bilge design, the Stuart 23 is more than capable in offshore waters. Previously designed to be powered by a single Yamaha F300, the newly designed splash well can accept single and twin motor configurations.

Stuart 27
Stuart27 Blue Logo

Featuring elegant lines in profile, the Stuart 27 is a pleasure to behold and even more enjoyable to captain. Using our rounded bilge design, this boat is built for offshore cruising and fishing. Featuring an aggressive bow entry, the Stuart 27 can stretch from one wave top to another when conditions deteriorate offshore.

This boat is manageable singlehandedly, while providing adequate space for multiple passengers. The Stuart 27 provides a solidness of feel and a softness of ride equivalent to a much larger boat.

We offer the highest quality semi-custom boats around. With a unique rounded bilge, structural standards like no other, and a versatile design, our semi-custom boats will blow you away. If you have any questions or want more details, feel free to contact us.
