The Right Equipment

A sport fishing boat is not just an everyday vessel, but has features and standard equipment to maximize the experience, both in terms of the navigation as well as the fishability of the passengers. Average sport fishing enthusiasts must contend with big game fish, such as Tuna, Bullshark, Grouper, and Redfish, not the small-time fish located primarily close to shore. The boats must be able to withstand the high winds and waves that can come with offshore Atlantic or Gulf fishing. Due to the beam, the Deep Vee stepped hulls, and the outboard/inboard configurations, the Sport Fishing boats provide both stability and navigational reliability.

Sport Fishing Boats maintain a few different additional equipment options that the angler will use throughout any journey. Equipment such as live bait wells, larger than average fish boxes, and rod holders both vertical and horizontal are standard. Sport fishing boats for sale today take advantage of some of the highest tech fish finding devices within the cockpit, as well as tiered fishing towers, to aid in finding the next catch. Maximum fishability of the vessel is emphasized by the uncluttered deck and bait prep areas, but also the iconic fighting chairs that give the angler a place to sit and wrestle the big catch into the boat. Outriggers are some of the additional equipment that is available for these high intensity fishing vessels

Comforts of Home

Even though most of the sport fishing will take place during the day, the fishermen take the vessel so far into the ocean, that bedding down on the boat at night is a true necessity. These boats are built with comfort in mind and some have the capacity to sleep up to 6 passengers within the cavernous interior space. Stateroom configurations will vary depending on the brand that is chosen. However, most of the sport fishing boats have at least one queen/king master stateroom in the bow.

Sport fishing boats for sale today are equipped with not only plenty of multi-function berths, but full head compartments and remarkably well-equipped galleys as well. The interior furnishings are given just as much attention as the exterior fishing equipment. Luxury sport fishing boats may come with marble, higher quality woods, and upgraded electronics (such as USB and Bluetooth compatibility).
