2018 NauticStar 2400 Sport

Step aboard and you’ll notice how open and level the deck feels, with wide, uncluttered walkways from bow to stern that make it easy to work a fish around the boat or keep kids moving safely. The forward casting area converts quickly from a serious fishing platform to a lounging space with cushions, so you’re not locked into one type of day on the water. The helm offers good sightlines whether you’re standing or leaning, and the console provides enough protection to stay comfortable on breezier runs. High freeboard for a bay boat gives extra confidence when the chop picks up, and the fit-and-finish touches, from the hardware to the upholstery, feel a cut above typical workboats.

In these waters, you need a hull that’s shallow enough to push up onto the flats yet confident when the afternoon breeze stacks a little chop, and the 2400 Sport threads that needle nicely. The running surface is designed to lift quickly and stay efficient at moderate cruising speeds, ideal for hopping between nearshore structure, sandbars, and back-bay creeks. With its generous deck space and smart storage, you can load the boat with a mix of rods, beach gear, and coolers without feeling crowded. It’s a versatile platform that suits early-morning fishing missions, family sandbar days, and casual evening cruises, all in the same package.
