Stingray ranks among the top independent boat builders in the United States. Unlike many brands that are owned by large conglomerates, Stingray has stayed independent since 1979, building bowriders, deck boats, sport boats, and center consoles in Hartsville, South Carolina. The brand is well regarded for its patented Z-Plane hull, its build quality, and its value, and it has earned multiple Marine Industry customer satisfaction awards over the years. While it is not a luxury or offshore brand, Stingray ranks highly as a value-focused builder of family recreational boats.
