American boating keeps growing, especially in high-demand markets like Florida, Texas, California, and North Carolina. In fact, Florida led the nation in recreational boating sales in 2022, with over $6.3 billion. There are almost 12 million registered pleasure vessels in the country according to recent boat industry statistics. If you’re looking for premium fiberglass boats for sale, you have a world of choices—and maybe too many worries about price, durability, and what you actually get for your investment.
A smart alternative can surprise you.

Let’s walk through what makes these boats stand out, and why they’ve quickly become a hot topic among experienced owners searching for more than just a recognizable name.
Value and quality in every model
What do discerning buyers want? Usually, it’s a mix of confidence in build, warranty longevity, and fair pricing. The Granfort lineup covers these concerns:

Structural superiority and long-term assurance
One thing that gets talked about most at the Granfort showroom is peace of mind. Why? Every Granfort boat carries a 10-year structural warranty. That’s double—or even more—than what you’ll see elsewhere.
Underneath the sleek Italian-inspired lines, these hulls use top-tier fiberglass, rigorous layup schedules, and modern resins. Buyers routinely comment on the sense of “real weight” and quality when touring the factory or poking around storage spaces.
The backbone of your boat should last generations.
For those still cautious about buying a non-American brand, consider Granfort’s full ABYC and U.S. Coast Guard certification. ABYC (as found in nationally recognized certification programs) means products and build processes are verified for electrical, mechanical, and safety standards. In fact, ABYC certification carries legal standing in the U.S. when evaluating boat safety and value. Third-party certification also indicates rigorous independent quality control, and certified boats tend to be recalled much less often.
The buying experience in Melbourne, FL
Buying at Granfort’s Melbourne, FL showroom is more relaxed than you might expect. Test rides are hands-on with factory-trained professionals. All questions—resale, long-term service, parts support—get addressed directly. For boaters based in Florida, Texas, California, or North Carolina, access to genuine service and parts is a top concern. Granfort responds with a growing infrastructure, steady U.S.-based support, and quick in-person follow-ups.

Perhaps what you notice first is the styling. Granfort’s Italian design, combined with Porsche consulting influence, turns heads at every marina. Interiors are bright, airy, and ergonomic—built for real use. The details are there, from stitched leathers to clever storage compartments.
Luxury is in the feel, not just the look.
Are Granfort boats the obvious pick for every buyer? Maybe not. For many, that big-brand badge still means something. But if you want extended warranty, certified quality, unique design, and a better price—Granfort Boats USA is worth discovering. You’ll find more about this value in the why Granfort advantage.

How do I choose a quality boat brand?
