One-stop shopping — customers like it for the savings and convenience. You can fill a grocery cart at the supermarket. But the idea of finding everything needed to go boating in one stop seems unrealistic.
In reality, such a place exists where you can find the boat of your dreams. Even better, you can comeback for the life of the boat for expert service, products and friendly advice. Does your existing boat need repairs, a new engine or boating accessories to get it up to speed with boating trends? You can find it all there, too.

What is more, buying a boat from us is all about making the process fun, memorable and a great beginning to how you should launch into the boating or off road lifestyle. Our Smart Buy experience is designed with customer convenience in mind, and it begins when you walk through our doors.
More shopping experience than sales cliché, Smart Buy defines what you can expect to find at Bass Pro Shops/Cabela's Boating Centers. Here are reasons we are the Smart Buy in boating for new and pre-owned boats, atvs and more.
Pontoons for parties, runabouts for watersports, fishing boats for freshwater and saltwater; we carry a boat for virtually every need and budget. We sell some of the most trusted and popular brands on the land and water—TRACKER®, NITRO®, MAKO®, SUN TRACKER®, REGENCY®, TAHOE®, and TRACKER OFF ROAD®. We also offer RANGER® and TRITON® at select locations. You will not find a broader selection anywhere else.
We take much of the guesswork from deciding what you might need in a boat for any activity. Our TRACKER aluminum models and NITRO fiberglass fishing boats are factory rigged with outboards, trolling motors, electronics and many other accessories. From dunking a minnow for panfish on a lazy afternoon to the high-charged thrill of competing in bass and walleye tournaments, our fishing boats are ready for the action. That even means a custom-made trailer made by us is available for every model. It’s been that way since 1978, when we introduced the concept of the very first fully rigged fishing boat, motor and trailer to the boating world.
Do you like watersports, cruising and family fun? We have you covered with our TAHOE fiberglass runabouts and deck boats, with models rigged and ready for wakeboarding, cruising and even fishing. Our family-friendly SUN TRACKER pontoons are ideal for fishing, watersports and relaxing. REGENCY pontoons are designed for luxury, entertaining and cruising in style.
Fishing saltwater? MAKO inshore and offshore models are renowned for being tougher than necessary to tackle the rough conditions of coastal and offshore fishing.
What does that mean for you? Finding exactly what you want in a boat or atv without the hassle of having to shop around at dealerships, only to be unsure of which choice best suits your needs. Boating is our passion and our lifestyle, and we want nothing more than to share it with you
The parent company of our brand family offering, White River Marine Group, is the world’s largest fishing and recreational boat manufacturer by volume. Because White River sells so many boats, they pay lower prices for top-quality raw materials. They also make many of their own component parts, like livewells, consoles, seats, fuel tanks and even trailers. Doing so allows them to maintain high expectations for quality control, while eliminating costs associated with buying from outside suppliers.
What does that mean for you? Lower material costs are passed on as savings to the customer. Also, by
cutting out “middleman” charges for transportation, overhead and profit margins, we can give you even
more boat for the money. You also get a boat that is quality built to the highest expectations to last for
years to come.
America’s favorite boats, built in America’s Heartland. Our boats are built using best practices followed by global leaders in other industries. The result is a culture of constant improvement every step of the way. Systematically identifying and eliminating waste, like defects, excess inventory and unnecessary movement of materials, are the results.
What does that mean for you? By employing the best manufacturing methods and leveraging everyone’s talents to the fullest, we can deliver dependable
quality and greater value to our customers in the boats we build.
Most boats are sold through a process that requires negotiation to reach a final price. This means many buyers pay more than they have to — only great negotiators get the best deals.
At Bass Pro Shops / Cabela's Boating Center, we know it can be a headache and a big turn off when it comes time to talk price, so we do business differently. We like to make boating fun. Isn’t that what it’s all about?
Our sales process involves getting to know you first and finding the right boat for your needs, during which we’ll introduce our transparent NO HAGGLE NO HASSLE pricing. Because of our efficient manufacturing processes, we need less profit per boat to run our business, so our retail prices are pre-set at levels most others reach only by aggressive negotiation.
What does that mean for you? NO HAGGLE NO HASSLE prices are consistent across the country, from websites to advertisements to retail showrooms. Everyone can expect the best deal available every day, no matter where you shop.

What does that mean for you? Finding everything you need, including financing, under one roof. You
get the best price—up front for your new boat—and then you can be confident you’re getting the best
financing offer.

place you buy the boat is where you come for service and helpful advice from the experts. Many

This summer, did you spend weekends on the boats of friends or family, wishing you had your own? That’s not surprising. Along the way, you most likely discovered that boating takes the enjoyment of being outdoors to another level (if you didn’t, maybe you should consider trying again with different friends!).
Winterizing the boat is an all-too-familiar autumn ritual for northern boaters. What about boaters living in warmer climates? Is it worth spending the time and money on a boat that won’t be used until next spring?
