Made in Hartsville: Stingray Boats
Through quality products and a team dedicated to excellence, Stingray has undoubtedly played its part in putting Hartsville on the map. Their boats are enjoyed by enthusiastic owners all over the world.
Founded in 1979 with two molds and a few skilled craftsmen, the company continues its commitment to innovation and quality to this day. In 2004, Stingray became the first boat manufacturer to achieve Mercury Marine’s Certified Manufacturer status, ensuring improved manufacturing efficiencies and product quality.
Although these accolades are impressive, they only serve to highlight the real reason we were drawn to partner with them for Wild Hartsville: their people.

True success isn’t measured in sales. It starts with your people and the impact they make on your community. Over the years, Stingray has provided numerous job opportunities for our community, currently employing over 130 people, making it extremely invaluable to the economy of Hartsville. Focused on giving back, they were quick to say yes to partnering with Wild Hartsville. When asked why, the answer was clear.
“We are thankful to be a part of the community of Hartsville. No matter how far away a boat is sold, the journey starts right here with our people in a community we love.”
Hartsville is a gem amongst towns here in South Carolina. We’re thankful for businesses like Stingray which call Hartsville home and help make our community a better place to live. Join us on April 12th for our beer festival and free boat show, Wild Hartsville, and help continue making Hartsville a place for people to visit and enjoy!
