After a long build we have our Concept 30 Open dream boat home on Marco! Fit, finish and quality are everything we thought it would be and with the 300 Mercs she is smooth and very nimble! This is the very first 30 with the new style 2 step console with the forward lounge (previously only available on 32's & 36's)! That option was definitely worth the wait!
I've had four concept boats. The customer service is impeccable 5 star. The boats are beautiful, and I love Lewis, Eric & Susan.
Great boat builder. I had a new 2019 boat built by them and every detail was perfect and they have stood behind their product with great support and communication during the entire build possess and after.

Boat Buyer's Guide – Concept Boats
Buying a boat from Concept Boats in Sarasota, Florida? Use this guide to evaluate any listing before you commit.
1
Match the boat to your waters
Pontoons and deck boats suit calm lakes. Deep-V hulls handle chop on larger lakes and coastal water. Center consoles are versatile for fishing. Ask Concept Boats which models suit the waterways near Sarasota, Florida.
2
Inspect the hull carefully
Look for stress cracks, blistering, or repairs on fiberglass hulls. Check the transom for soft spots by pressing firmly — a solid transom feels rigid. Osmotic blistering costs thousands to repair.
3
Check engine hours
Inboard and outboard engines are typically rated to 1,500–3,000 hours. Low-hour engines with service records are worth more. Ask to see oil change and winterization records for any boat at Concept Boats.
4
Request a sea trial
Test the boat on the water before buying. Run it at full throttle. Listen for unusual noises. Check that the throttle and steering respond smoothly. Reputable dealers like Concept Boats will accommodate this request.
5
Verify title and registration
Ask for the current title and confirm the hull identification number (HIN) matches. Check for any liens with your state boating agency. Concept Boats should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

Amazing boats. Outstanding customer service. Starting from the front office to the workers building the boats. Everyone takes great pride to build the boat with the upmost quality and satisfaction. It is a family feeling as opposed to just being a customer. Thanks for the greatest boat and customer service experience .

We have recently acquired a 36 concept Cuddy and all Incan say is I love it. Having been an IO performance power boater all of my life, this has been a great experience. This boat handles snotty water amazingly well for its weight snd size. It’s a little narrow and reacts to people moving around the boat but it’s awesome 😁
