FISHING BOATS

A fishing boat is a vessel used to catch fish in the ocean, on a lake, reservoir or river. Within this broad definition, there are many types, but the best fishing boats offer features and layouts specifically designed to make fishing enjoyable — along with the quality and durability to withstand hardcore pursuits and hours of fish fighting.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Look for attributes like spacious layouts with lots of room to move and fight a fish; stainless steel rod holders that won’t rust or break under the tension of a goliath fish on the line; aerated livewells and large fishboxes to protect your bait and your trophy catches; outriggers for deep-sea trolling; state-of-the-art technology that gives you the upper hand; and fuel capacity to venture wherever the fish are biting. You also want a well-crafted hull that slices cleanly through big water and provides a soft, dry ride in even rough weather conditions.

SPORT FISHING BOATS

A sport fishing boat handles a variety of sea conditions and keeps anglers safe, comfortable, and dry during long trips. For dedicated anglers who want to chase gamefish like tuna, wahoo and marlin, an offshore fishing boat makes this possible.
