There is nothing like running a Highfield Sport across the San Francisco Bay with the Golden Gate Bridge right off your bow.

Seen here, the Sport 760 eats up the chop, stays steady in the afternoon breeze, and gives you a smooth ride from Sausalito to the city front.

The Sports open layout makes it easy to kick back, soak up the views, and enjoy a full day on the water with plenty of room for friends, gear, and sunshine.

Highfield Sport luxury performance RIBs feature a durable aluminium hull and premium touches like tow posts, swim platforms, and sunbeds. It is the perfect setup for exploring every corner of the Bay.

At Boat Specialists, we've long been proud to represent the Fluid Motion family, showcasing Ranger Tugs and Solara boats at both our Southern and Northern California locations and now, we're excited to take the Fluid Motion experience even further by adding Cutwater Boats to our lineup.

That's right. Cutwater Boats, the acclaimed coastal cruiser brand born from the Fluid Motion family, is now available right here at Boat Specialists. This is more than just adding a new product to our floor. It's the realization of a vision to give our customers access to the entire Fluid Motion world, from the iconic versatility of Ranger Tugs to the sporty appeal of Solara and now the premium fishing and cruising experience of Cutwater, all under one roof.

Delivery day for Ty and his daughter Dani! Their new Grady‑White 285 hit the water over Memorial Day weekend, and Ty reported an amazing ride with a smooth, comfortable trip all the way to Anacapa Islands. Nothing beats a maiden voyage like that 🌊

Fifty years have brought us to this moment, and today we celebrate. We hope to see you all at today's Boat Show and Birthday Bash and help us cheer to the next fifty years of adventure!

PART 6: THE PREMIER DEALERSHIP ON THE WEST COAST

If there was a single moment that signaled Boat Specialists had stepped onto the national stage, it was 2023. That year, the company added several of the most respected and sought‑after names in the marine world to its portfolio. Brands known for heritage, loyal followings, and a reputation for uncompromising quality.

This moment was built on nearly five decades of doing things the right way. Trust from top manufacturers grows slowly, earned through a reputation shaped by a team that refuses to cut corners. Eventually, the industry took notice, and Boat Specialists stepped confidently into the national spotlight.

Nearly 50 years after Don Potts consigned three kayaks on a handshake and a dream, Boat Specialists now stands as the premier boat dealership of the West Coast. The lineup includes some of the most prestigious names in the industry, each chosen with the same care and conviction Don brought to that very first purchase.

Join us this Saturday at the Boat Show as we bring the story to life, gather with friends old and new, and kick off the next fifty years together. See you at the Boat Show!
