The 2003 Rinker 232 Captiva is a timeless and versatile bowrider that delivers solid performance, spacious comfort, and dependable craftsmanship—all at an exceptional value. With an overall length of 23 feet and a generous 8'6" beam, this family-friendly sport boat is perfectly suited for cruising, watersports, or relaxing weekends at the lake.
Powered by a reliable MerCruiser 5.7L or 6.2L engine paired with a Bravo III outdrive, the Captiva 232 offers strong acceleration, responsive handling, and a top speed in the mid-50s (depending on load and configuration). It planes quickly and cuts confidently through chop, making it a joy to drive whether you’re pulling skiers, tubers, or just enjoying a high-speed run across open water.
The cockpit is intelligently laid out, with wraparound seating, a swiveling captain’s chair, and a roomy bow area designed for socializing or lounging. A walk-through windshield provides easy access to the bow, while the integrated swim platform with telescoping ladder makes water access safe and convenient.
The 232 Captiva shines in both function and form, featuring high-quality upholstery, stainless-steel accents, and durable non-skid flooring. Thoughtful storage is found throughout, including under-seat compartments, in-floor ski locker, and side panel stowaways—ensuring you have space for all your gear.
Additional features include a built-in cooler, marine stereo system, bimini top for sun protection, and full instrumentation at the helm. An enclosed head compartment adds extra convenience for longer days on the water, a rare luxury in boats of this size.
Whether you're looking for a dependable family runabout, a capable watersports platform, or a stylish bowrider for weekend getaways, the 2003 Rinker 232 Captiva delivers a well-rounded boating experience. Its blend of performance, comfort, and classic styling continues to make it a popular choice among savvy boaters.
