ABOUT SPORT FISHING BOATS

Sport fishing boats are high-powered, saltwater boats which are designed with the specialized needs of serious offshore anglers in mind. There are several different styles available, including flybridge, express, and convertible, to suit all needs. Search for new and used sport fishing boats for sale by brand, length, budget, or specification.

 

Main Characteristics of Sport Fishing Boats

Sport fishing boats are dedicated vessels designed for offshore fishing. They are fast and capable, able to withstand heavy seas and get anglers to the best fishing grounds quickly. They are well-equipped, with storage for fishing equipment such as rods and tackle, as well as livewells to store the days' catch.

These types of boats are designed for serious offshore anglers who enjoy big game and pelagic fishing, and as such every part of the vessel is planned with fishing in mind, from the fighting chairs to the bait and tackle stations. Having said that, they are also designed for comfort and luxury too, and have cabins of varying size, and plenty of luxury home comforts.

Sport fishing boats can either be inboard or outboard, and it's common to see twin, triple, or even quad outboards on the largest models. Ranging in size from 30-feet to 90-feet and more, sport fishing boats come in various styles, most notably the express, flybridge, and convertible models. They have good ranges to allow them to reach offshore fishing grounds and are able to accommodate families on overnight cruises too.

 

Types of Sport Fishing Boats

Flybridge Sport Fishing Boat

A flybridge sportfishing boat is characterized by its open deck above the cabin roof bridge where there is a second helm station. This allows the captain to drive and navigate from a raised vantage point, giving them excellent visibility. The flybridge allows for extra space for hosting passengers, and they usually have larger cabins and extra interior space than other styles. These attributes make them a good option for both serious anglers and those who would like a more hybrid-style vessel for entertaining too. Such is their popularity that they make up a significant portion of the sport fishing boat market, and there are therefore plenty to be found on the used market.

 

Express Sportfish Boat

The express sport fishing boat doesn't have the raised deck of its flybridge cousin and offers plenty of on-deck space as there are no ladders to navigate around. They are stable on the water without such a high center of gravity, and renowned for their speed. Most express sport fishing boats will have some sort of cabin, but the larger models (which make up a big section of the market) will have spacious interiors and comfortable cabins for overnight trips.

 

Convertible Sport Fishing Boat

Convertible sport fishing boats are those which offer more space and more comfort than other styles, allowing them to be used as much for leisure and family cruising as for serious offshore angling. They tend to be over 40-feet in length, and usually have a flybridge that is larger than a flyrbridge sport fishing boat to allow guests to join the captain.

Convertibles are characterized by their larger cabins, offering the opportunity to embark on weekend cruises in comfort. The helm decks tend to be enclosed creating a salon and lots more covered space for passengers.

 

Center Console Sport Fishing Boats

There are many center console fishing boats on the market, but it's important to differentiate between those designed for coastal use and those that are true offshore fishing vessels. Center console sport fishing boats will have powerful outboards, open cockpits, and below deck cabins, as well as being able to cruise long distances in heavy seas.

 

Best Sport Fishing Brands

There is stiff competition within the sport fishing boat sector, with many of the world's top brands building ever better models year on year. Renowned brands such as Hatteras Yachts, Bertram, and Viking offer some of the larger models in their line-ups, while brands such as Boston Whaler and Grady-White include smaller versions in their broad fishing boat ranges.

Many of the top brands in the industry are America, and these include Florida-based Merritt, American Custom Yachts, Buddy Davis Yachts, F&S Boatworks, and NauticStar to name just a few. That isn't to say there aren't brands in other countries building top-quality sport fishing boats such as Maverick Yachts in South Africa and Finnish XO Boats.

When it comes to center console sport fishing boats, there is a marked difference between those which fish coastally and those which are really equipped for offshore angling. Top brands such as Contender, Fountain, Invincible, Freeman, and HCB today build highly capable offshore center consoles that easily qualify as sport fishing boats.

 

Why Choose Sport Fishing Boats?

Sport fishing boats are designed for serious offshore anglers who need the strength, safety, and speed to get them to blue water fishing grounds in comfort. They will be equipped with everything from fighting chairs to fishing storage and livewells, as well as have cabins for overnight stays. There are several types of sport fishing boat including express, flybridge, and convertible.
