Scout Boats, a luxury boat manufacturer based in South Carolina, is expanding its Dorchester County operations following a $10m investment.

Scout Boats plans to enlarge its 36-acre campus by expanding and renovating its corporate headquarters located at 130 Spaniel Lane in Summerville. Scout Boats will build a new 35,000-square-foot facility, allowing the company to build component parts for its yacht division and support its new product line for the 67 LX series, a 67-foot model that debuted at this year’s Miami International Boat Show in February.

Renovations are expected to be complete by spring 2024, and operations are expected to be online by summer 2024.

The firm, which has recently confirmed a new management structure, is currently expanding its manufacturing headquarters campus.

In a statement, Scout Boats‘ chief executive Steve Potts congratulated his team, saying: “We meet with the craftsmen and women in each of our four plants every month for award ceremonies, and I often remind them that we ship our boats all over the world to some very affluent customers who choose our brand because of the pride they put into each and every build.”
