Runabout Boats Frequently Asked Questions

What is a runabout boat?

A runabout boat is a small motorboat—typically 16–35 ft long—designed for short trips, watersports, cruising, or fishing. They usually carry 4‑8 people and are trailer‑friendly and low‑maintenance.

Common runabout types include bowriders, cuddy cabins, center consoles, walk‑arounds, deck boats, jet boats and high‑performance sport runabouts—each suited to slightly different activities and crew sizes.

Most runabout boats cruise around 30–50 mph (≈48–80 km/h), while performance models can exceed 60 mph, depending on engine type, hull design, and length.

Runabouts are great for day cruising, watersports, casual fishing, tending larger yachts, or just enjoying lake and coastal outings. They offer unmatched versatility for recreational boating.

Prices range from around $5,700 for basic used models up to $600,000+ for high-end new builds. Most new runabouts average under $200,000, depending on brand and specifications.

Pros: easy to tow, low‑maintenance, multipurpose for fun. Cons: limited passenger capacity, minimal range, few or no overnight amenities, and less suited to rough offshore conditions.
