Additional information
Choose Your Cover Fabric
7 oz. Polyester — Our entry-level marine cover fabric, woven from 100% polyester fiber at a 7 oz. per linear yard weight. This lighter option keeps the cover manageable for solo handling while still delivering reliable protection against sun, rain, and debris. Backed by a 3-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black.
9 oz. Polyester — Step up to our heavy-duty polyester, engineered at 9 oz. per linear yard for boats that face tougher conditions or extended outdoor storage. The denser weave adds an extra layer of defense against abrasion and weather without adding unnecessary bulk. Protected by a 5-year fabric warranty. Ships in Navy or Black.
Sunbrella® — For boaters who want the best, our Sunbrella covers use 100% solution-dyed acrylic — the same fabric trusted by marine professionals worldwide. Naturally resistant to fading, mold, and water damage, Sunbrella holds its color and integrity season after season. Covered by a 6-year fabric warranty. Ships in Black, Smoke, or Marine Blue.
Both polyester options feature solution-dyed construction, where pigment is infused into each fiber during production rather than applied to the surface afterward. This process locks color deep into the material, preventing any dye transfer to your boat’s gel coat or finish. The result is a cover that stays vibrant without bleeding or rubbing off. Our polyester is also designed to breathe — it allows moisture trapped underneath to vent out naturally, reducing the risk of mildew and keeping your boat dry. The fabric holds its form without sagging or stretching over time, stays lightweight enough for one person to handle, and stands up to prolonged UV exposure and harsh marine weather.

It offers the most comprehensive fishing features (multiple livewells, three bow fish boxes, an oversized 50-gallon aft fish box), a full-featured head compartment with sink and mirror, and the option to outfit with twin 200 HP engines or a single 350 HP engine for up to 400 HP total. This combination of size, power, and amenities makes it the ultimate express fishing boat for serious anglers.

Additionally, an 18-gallon cooler sits integrated in the three-across seating. Combined, these compartments total 189 gallons of dedicated fish and bait capacity—ideal for tournament competition or multi-species fishing.
The 800-gph aerator pump with timer ensures aggressive oxygenation of livewells, keeping bait and tournament fish fresh and healthy throughout long fishing days.

Our custom-fit solution-dyed marine fabric cover spans the 2602's full 25' length and 102-inch beam, protecting the helm console, cushions, electronics, and fishing hardware from intense UV rays, salt spray, rain, and mildew.

NauticStar 2602 Legacy T-Top Boat Cover in Solution-Dyed Marine Fabric
The NauticStar 2602 Legacy is the crown jewel of NauticStar’s Classic Series—a fully-featured 25-foot center console fishing boat that bridges the gap between efficient express fishing boats and luxury cruising yachts. Built in Amory, Mississippi with 100% wood-free composite hull construction, the 2602 eliminates the structural liabilities of boats with wooden stringers, transom cores, and deck framing. Every inch of the hull is engineered with fiberglass composite materials, reinforced with vinyl ester barrier coat protection, and backed by a Limited Lifetime Hull Warranty plus optional 5-year NauticGuard coverage. The 2602’s length and beam (25′ LOA, 102-inch beam) deliver exceptional stability and deck space, while the STAR Performance System (air-assist chines and planing pods) ensures smooth planing, responsive handling, and fuel economy even when running in rough offshore conditions.
Premium Fishing and Cruising Capabilities
The 2602 Legacy is designed for anglers who refuse to compromise. Livewell capacity spans 51 gallons combined (30-gallon aft baitwell + 21-gallon leaning post baitwell), while fish box storage totals 125 gallons (25 gallons per bow fish box + oversized 50-gallon insulated aft fish box). An 800-gph livewell aerator pump with timer, 500-gph aft recirculating pump, and LED-illuminated livewells ensure tournament-grade fish preservation. Rod storage is legendary: flush-mount stainless steel holders (2 per side), 6-pack horizontal racks, and a four-rod rocket launcher on the leaning post. The integrated tackle center keeps your entire arsenal organized and ready.
Beyond fishing, the 2602 delivers genuine cruising comfort. A full fiberglass-lined head compartment with sink, mirror, and SeaDek flooring sets this boat apart from entry-level center consoles. Port-side console windows provide ventilation and natural light. Dual raw-water high-pressure washdowns plus a transom shower keep the boat and crew clean throughout extended fishing trips. With options for twin Yamaha F200 (400 HP combined) or single F350 (350 HP) four-stroke engines, a 139-gallon fuel capacity, 12-person seating, and 250+ miles of range, the 2602 Legacy conquers full-day offshore expeditions, overnight trips, and tournament competition with equal confidence.
