Commercial Fleet BrandPremium Guest Experience for Larger Groups, Season After Season
Starcraft deck boats and runabouts are built for the operations that demand more — larger guest counts, elevated comfort, proven durability, and the reinforced construction to sustain heavy commercial use across multiple full seasons without compromise.
Built for Larger Groups, Premium Comfort, and Heavy Commercial Use
Starcraft deck boats and runabouts occupy the premium tier of the commercial rental runabout category — wider beams, more expansive deck layouts, greater seating capacity, and the reinforced construction that high-volume rental environments require. Where Bayliner delivers efficient simplicity, Starcraft delivers a higher-capacity, comfort-forward vessel that lets operators charge premium rates and attract larger group bookings.
The Starcraft platform is engineered for durability in heavy-use environments — generous fuel capacity for extended trips, durable upholstery designed to withstand daily turnover, easy-access storage for guest gear, and wash-down-friendly surfaces throughout. Feil's Southwest works with Starcraft operators to configure each build for their specific waterway and guest profile, ensuring every vessel earns its place in the fleet from the first season.

Why Starcraft Works for Premium Rental Programs
Starcraft builds every boat to hold up in real commercial use — where guests are on the boat all day, every day, and conditions can push both vessel and crew to their limits.
Wide-Beam Design for More Guests
Starcraft's wide-beam deck boat configurations deliver substantially more on-deck space than standard runabouts — more seating positions, more room for guests to move around, and a more comfortable experience for larger parties. Operators can book larger groups at premium rates, supporting higher per-trip revenue across every booking period.
Reinforced Construction for Heavy Use
Starcraft builds for the rigors of commercial operation — reinforced hulls, high-cycle hardware, and structural engineering that accounts for the stress of near-constant use throughout the rental season. These boats are designed to look and perform as well on day 300 of a season as they do on day one.
Durable Comfort-Forward Interior
Starcraft's durable upholstery resists UV degradation, wear, and moisture — maintaining a premium appearance through high-turnover rental use that would quickly degrade inferior materials. Guests experience premium comfort from the first moment they step aboard, supporting the guest ratings and repeat bookings that drive long-term profitability.
Generous Fuel Capacity
Larger fuel tanks support extended trips and all-day rentals without forcing guests back to the dock for refueling. For operations offering half-day or full-day packages, Starcraft's generous fuel capacity is a meaningful operational advantage — fewer fuel stops means more time on the water and a better overall guest experience.
Easy-Access Storage
Thoughtfully positioned storage compartments throughout the deck give guests a place for their gear, towels, food, and personal items — reducing clutter, supporting a more organized and premium-feeling experience, and making post-trip cleanup faster for dock staff. Good storage design is one of the hidden drivers of positive guest reviews.
Wash-Down Friendly Throughout
Wash-down-friendly surfaces make end-of-day cleaning faster and more thorough — maintaining the premium appearance that Starcraft's pricing tier demands. Sealed flooring, easily rinsed upholstery, and accessible deck drains all contribute to a boat that can go from a full day of rental use to guest-ready condition efficiently between bookings.
Starcraft Models for Commercial Fleets
Feil's Southwest specs each Starcraft build for commercial use, with configurations optimized for different rental program types and guest profiles across western waterways.
SCX Deck Boat
The Starcraft SCX is the most popular Starcraft configuration for premium rental and boat club operations — a wide-beam deck boat with generous seating capacity, a stable ride, and the durable construction needed for high-volume commercial use. Operators consistently choose the SCX for large-group bookings, multi-hour packages, and programs where premium guest experience directly supports rate pricing.
- Wide-beam design for expanded deck space
- Higher passenger capacity for group bookings
- Durable UV-resistant upholstery

SVX Outboard
The Starcraft SVX combines the open-bow layout popular in standard rental runabouts with Starcraft's reinforced construction and premium interior finishes. The result is a vessel that appeals to operators who want a more versatile fleet option — one that works for families, couples, and groups, and supports a slightly elevated price point backed by visibly higher build quality than entry-level rental runabouts.
