Southport Boats

Southport Boats is the product of technology, boat-building experience and a great many days on the water. It is because of this pedigree that Kenway Corporation purchased Southport in February 2011, and plans to continue the vision of the original founders.

Southport boats are designed around four-stroke power. That means the continuously-variable deep vee hulls are designed by Hunt Yacht Design to maximize the sharpness of the entry while retaining stability at trolling speeds and at rest. This combination results in a dry, stable platform with sharp entry and ultra-smooth ride. Most notably, a Southport has a wide range of easy-planing cruising speeds instead of the required high speeds of fishing boats based on older offshore racing hulls. This combination of wide beam and deep vee results in a dry, stable platform with sharp entry and ultra-smooth ride.
 
The Southport 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 that reflect some of the most beautiful products afloat.
 
Perhaps the most important element of a Southport’s 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.
