The talk around the design table at Southport includes plenty of “war stories” about big fish and bad storms, lessons about boat building taught well — the “hard way”. Though all are fishermen first, the unique aspect of Southport is that the design team has built everything; from 15-foot flats boats to 130-foot custom yachts, from flying bridge sport fishermen to the world’s fastest offshore ocean racers.
 

The resulting fishing designs aren’t bound by conventional outboard boat-building thinking. In a Southport, you’ll find electrical systems designed in a yacht-like manner. Scuppers that evacuate green water like a custom sport fish. Structure learned from attacking six foot seas at three figure velocities. And lines — largely courtesy of Gerrard Design, Toronto — that reflect some of the most beautiful products ever afloat.

Perhaps the most important element of a Southport design is passion. We firmly believe that great boats demand great talent, great materials, and a passion for excellence that creates an extraordinary ownership experience. Southport is the boat that, at the end of the day at the end of the dock, will make you turn again to appreciate her one more time.

At Southport, we combine world-class, deep-vee hull design, experienced boat builders, and premium materials to provide an outstanding ownership experience.
