Used Convertible Yachts For Sale

Few anglers have had the adrenaline rush of captaining a convertible sportfish at 40 knots, chasing birds in the distance in search of feeding pelagic fish. Convertible yachts are the most popular type of sportfishing boats built today due to the panoramic, elevated views, the open air platform, and the ability to see what's happening in the cockpit during a battle. Also called flybridge yachts , having this spacious, open deck allows the captain to easily communicate with the crew in the cockpit. While enclosed bridge sportfish do offer some flexibility with fishing during colder months and extra comfort, serious tournament anglers are typically found with a convertible-style yacht.

Since 1964, SI Yachts has been helping our customers through countless boat purchases and expand their boating horizon. We are proud to be dealers for Viking Yachts , the world's most prolific convertible sportfish builder today. If you're interested in speaking with one of our convertible sportfish experts, please contact our main office at 1-718-984-7676.

Top 5 Convertible Sportfishing Boats Under $500K

March 4, 2019 1:07 pm

Late model sportfishing boats in high demand.

The demand for 40′ to 50′ convertible sportfishing boats has declined in recent years as the demand for big center consoles and express fishing boats has grown. Indeed, the smaller the convertible size the less popular they are compared with expresses. That said, convertibles have a big advantage over express boats in that they offer the comfort of a larger cabin. No surprise, then, that choosing a convertible can especially attractive in cases where families are involved.

Historically, only a handful of manufacturers produce midsize convertibles and the selection of used models is therefore limited. The boats profiled below are among the most popular late model (2002 or newer) used convertibles priced under $500,000 we found during a recent yachting MLS search. Note that the list is confined to sportfishing convertibles only rather than family-style convertibles that were never intended for serious fishing activities.

OCEAN 50 SUPER SPORT [2004-08]

Overview:  The Ocean 50 Super Sport replaced the super-popular 48 Super Sport (1995–2003), one of the builder’s best-selling models of recent years. The 50 is slightly wider than her predecessor with more transom deadrise for improved rough-water performance without sacrificing speed. Ocean has always had a reputation for good space utilization and the three stateroom, two head interior of the 50 Super Sport delivers a balanced blend of comfort and luxury. An L-shaped sofa and built-in entertainment center dominate the salon that is highlighted by grain-matched teak (or maple) woodwork, vinyl overheads and deep pile carpeting. A flat-panel TV/DVD is found in the master stateroom, a washer/dryer unit is located in the companionway, and the forward guest stateroom is available with a large island berth or an upper-and-lower berth arrangement. For the angler, the Ocean 50 comes standard with a standup livewell, bait prep center, in-deck fish box and transom door. The engine room offers good outboard access to the motors. Considered a fast ride in her day, MTU 825hp diesels cruise the Ocean 50 SS at 28–30 knots (low 30s top).

Price Range:  There are generally several available at under $500K.

VIKING 48 CONVERTIBLE [2002-09]

Overview:  Introduced in 2002, the Viking 48 Convertible (note that Viking built an earlier 48-foot convertible during 1985–90) is yet another example of why Viking so dominates the market for premium, executive-class convertibles. It isn’t just beautiful styling that sets her apart from the competition; what makes the Viking 48 special is her redundant engineering, exemplary finish and superior open-water performance. Built on a modified-V hull with a wide 16’6″ beam, the Viking’s wide open interior is big for a 48-footer. The layout is arranged with the galley and dinette forward in the salon with a choice of two or three staterooms below. Both floor plans include two full heads as well as a standard washer/dryer adjacent to the companionway steps. Varnished teak cabinets, rich designer fabrics, and deep pile carpeting are applied throughout the interior. The spacious 130-square-foot cockpit sports a recessed fish box, bait prep station and direct access to the meticulous engine room. Note that the bridge ladder is positioned over the salon steps to save cockpit space. An excellent open-water performer, 1100hp MANs (or 1015hp Cats) will cruise at an honest 30 knots (34–35 top).

Price Range: It’s possible to catch a 2003 or 2004 model priced under $500K.

RIVIERA 47 CONVERTIBLE [2003-09]

Overview:   Riviera’s top selling model for several years, the 47 Convertible splits the difference between fishing and cruising by combining a cockpit big enough for serious anglers and interior accommodations for up to three couples. Like all Riviera models, the 47 rides on a modified-V hull whose solid fiberglass construction includes a watertight collision bulkhead forward and separate compartments throughout the hull. Notably, the 47 is one of just a few convertibles under 50 feet to feature three private staterooms. The galley-up floorplan includes a dinette to starboard as well as leather salon seating, quality galley appliances, and built-in entertainment center. A transom livewell, tackle center, transom door, and fish box are standard in the cockpit. Topside, an L-shaped lounge and table are forward of the helm console. Additional features include overhead rod storage in the salon, Corian galley counters, and truly exceptional range. On the downside, the engine room is a tight fit. Series II models (starting in 2005) have prop pockets and underwater exhausts. Cat 715hp C12 diesel cruise in the mid to high 20s (30+ knots top).

Price Range: Prices for early models are usually under $500K

VIKING 45 CONVERTIBLE [2003-09]

Overview:  A state of the art yacht when she was introduced in 2003, more than a few boating enthusiasts still consider the Viking 45 to be about as good as it gets in a midsize convertible. Expecting good things in a Viking yacht comes naturally these days, and the 45 delivered an impressive mix of luxury and performance. Her spacious two-stateroom interior—updated in 2006 with a serving counter in the galley—features the same satin-finished cabinets and Ultraleather upholstery as Viking’s larger convertibles. The galley and dinette are forward in the salon, and rods stow handily below a posh L-shaped leather sofa. Frameless windows are capped with upholstered valances that conceal the air-conditioning ducts. A laundry center is at the base of the companionway steps, and both heads have separate stall showers. Cockpit amenities include tackle center, bait freezer, in-deck livewell and fish box, and transom door with gate. Additional features include a standard factory hardtop, large engine room with cockpit access, and teak and holly interior flooring. MAN 900hp diesels cruise the Viking 45 Convertible at 28–30 knots (low 30s top).

Price Range: Several are usually on the market for under $500K

CABO 40 FLYBRIDGE [2004 – 08]

Overview:  In the world of late model sportfishing boats, the Cabo 40 Flybridge ranked at the top of her class a few years ago thanks to world-class engineering, luxury-class amenities and cutting-edge performance. Built on a modified-V hull with prop pockets, the interior of the 40 Flybridge will please anglers who journey to the canyons for a few days of fishing as well as families pursuing an extended vacation. The standard two stateroom layout has the galley down and an L-shaped dinette to starboard in the salon, a surprisingly spacious arrangement expertly finished with Corian counters, quality fabrics and traditional teak woodwork. The Cabo 40’s large cockpit comes equipped with an array of quality fishing features including tackle storage, large-capacity livewell, bait freezer, and two large in-deck fish/storage boxes. On the flybridge the center helm console (with single-lever electronic controls) offers excellent sightlines in all directions. Additional features include near standing headroom in the engine room and a handy storage locker under the galley sole. Cruise at 28–30 knots with 715hp Cat engines; low to mid 30s with 800hp MANs.

Price Range:  Early models can be found priced from the low $400s.

13 Best Sport Fishing Yachts of 2023

• By Patrick Sciacca
• August 30, 2023

It is possible to fish from any type of boat, but a sportfishing yacht is purpose-built for angling aficionados to chase fish of all sizes and species, whether it’s fun fishing for mahi-mahi off the beach in South Florida or campaigning a pro-level crew from the Bahamas to Bermuda and back pursuing billfish during tournament season. The best sport-fishing yachts combine rugged, blue-water construction with performance, range, agile handling, and the comforts of luxury-yacht living. On the outside, sportfish yachts are notable for their dance-floor size cockpits for fish fighting; livewells to keep baits fresh; in-deck fish boxes to keep the catch stowed and cold; and an armada of rod holders for drift fishing, kite fishing or trolling. They also are known for big diesel horsepower and speed, sometimes north of 40-plus knots. Sportfish yachts are also known for luxurious interiors with supple leathers, granite countertops, high-end galley appliances and en suite staterooms. These are highly self-sufficient angling platforms geared for life beyond the horizon where the water is deep and the fish are big.

Hatteras Yachts GT65 Carolina

The Hatteras Yachts GT65 Carolina falls in the middle of the New Bern, North Carolina, boatbuilder’s three-model GT lineup, which also includes a GT59 and GT70 . This sportfish yacht has a solid-fiberglass hull bottom built for blue-water duty and comes with a variety of diesel engine options, which starts with twin 1,622 hp Caterpillar C-32A diesels.

Like all Hatteras GT models, the GT65 has notable bow flare to beat back tempestuous seas as well as a high freeboard to keep decks dry in the slop. The Hatteras GT65 also represent a design evolution for the series with a “stepped-back flybridge” an element found on in earlier Hatteras models, as well as a new window treatment and hull-side vents. With yacht-level luxury on the inside and a fishing-mission design on the outside, the Hatteras Yachts GT65 is a formidable sportfish boat.

Quick Specifications

Viking yachts 64c.

With its 180-square-foot, dance-floor-size, teak cockpit, options for a fighting chair or rocket launcher, a mezzanine perched perfectly for spotting prey in the spread and enough livewell space to keep a gaggle of goggle-eye baits frisky, the 42-knot Viking Yachts 64C is built for battle with big fish.Its impressive speed, which comes via optional 2,022 hp MTU M96X V-12 diesels , ensures that the Viking 64C is likely to be first boat with lines in the water. Cruise speed: 36 knots at 80 percent engine load. (Base powerplants are twin 1,550 hp MAN V-12 diesels.) For the traveling tournament crew, the Viking 64C has four staterooms, including three en suite guest staterooms, plus a crew cabin with upper and lower bunks.

Royal Huisman Project 406

A 171-foot sportfisherman? Yes. That’s exactly what the six-deck, Royal Huisman’s Project 406 is. The interior and exterior design of Project 406 is from noted Dutch yacht-design firm Vripack . Vripack calls the vessel a “sportfisher on steroids.” The hull and superstructure of the supersize sportfish is Alustar aluminum, a material known for its strength and relatively light weight.

Even with six decks, Vripack has managed to create sleek lines for Project 406. It starts with a high freeboard forward that seemingly dares the ocean to approach. Transitioning from the bow, the sheerline slopes downwards in a steady cadence. The flowing sheerline resolves seamlessly at the cockpit. The vessel’s raked house and stacked deck are juxtaposed against the long profile, creating a sinewy aesthetic, which is no simple feat in this 171-footer. Add in all of the expected angling accouterments and 30-knot speed, and you have a sportfish yacht ready to chase fish around the world.

Rybovich 94

Size, speed and agility is a unique trifecta in a sportfish boat, but the 94-foot, 41-knot III Amigos from Michael Rybovich checks all those boxes as well as a few more too. The sportfish boat , designed by Patrick Knowles with naval architecture from Dusty Rybovich, is built in cold-molded mahogany. Prop pockets help keep the boat’s half-load draft down to a Bahamas-friendly 5 feet. The Rybovich 94’s impressive speed is helped by a pair of beefy 2,600 hp MTU diesels . 

The owner of II Amigos also owns a 196-foot Feadship superyacht and, while he wanted the sportfish to be all business on the outside, he wanted luxury-yacht finishes on the inside.  “Subtle but telling touches are the solid doors to the staterooms; each mimics the owner’s Feadship with ¾-inch thickness. The doors close flush (each has hidden hinges), and the sound is of a Rolls-Royce door closing.”

Viking Yachts 38 Open Billfish

The Viking Yachts 38 Open Billfish is the builder’s entry point to its diesel-propelled sportfish boats. An owner-operator-size angling platform, the 38 Open is powered with twin 550 hp Cummins QSB6.7 diesels, which gives the sportfish boat 36-knot speed. Notable angling features on board the 38 Open include a 109-swqure-foot cockpit, complete with a mezzanine seating flanking the centerline stairs to the bridge deck as well as a laminated backing plate foe either a fighting chair or a rocket launcher. For overnight canyon trips, there is a forepeak stateroom with a double bunk as well as a single above it. Additionally, the salon’s sofa converts to a berth for guests or crew. The galley is outfitted with Corian countertops, two-burner electric cooktop, microwave/convection oven and drawer-style refrigerators and freezers. Some options include a Palm Beach Towers tuna tower and electronics packages from Atlantic Marine Electronics , both are Viking Yachts’ subsidiaries.

Bertram 61 Convertible

Bertram’s 61 Convertible leads the builder’s offshore series, which also includes a 35 Convertible and the express-style 50 Sport . Like its 50 Sport sistership, the 61 Convertible has a stepped sheerline, a nod to the legendary boatbuilder’s earlier designs. It also creates an instantly recognizable profile. The 61 Convertible is ready to run out of the box thanks to its twin 1,925 hp Caterpillar C-32A diesels. Top hop is 44 knots.

When it comes to chasing fish, the 61 Convertible has 188 square feet of fish-fighting space. A 100-gallon in-transom livewell is accompanied by twin in-sole fish boxes as well as rod stowage to port and starboard. A tuna door to starboard makes bringing in that bigeye on board a breeze. (Fish not included.) The accommodations layout belowdecks includes three staterooms. There is a full-beam master stateroom amidships.

Hatteras Yachts GT45X

The Hatteras Yachts GT45X express sports twin 1,150-horsepower Cat C18 ACERT diesel engines that deliver 40-plus-knot speeds. During our sea trial, the GT45X showcased remarkable handling, gracefully leaning into turns without any loss of power from the props. Hatteras has equipped the GT45X with a custom-engineered, sound-deadening system. This feature reduces noise and vibration, ensuring a relatively quiet ride for all aboard. Inside, the yacht has a luxe sensibility with its wood sole, sumptuous leather seating, a fully equipped galley and a spacious forward stateroom. On deck, there are two comfortable helm seats, an undercounter fridge, an ice maker, an inviting L-shaped settee and a table, creating the perfect entertainment area for relaxing after a successful day of fishing. The integrated hardtop enhances visibility with its one-piece windshield and large side windows, offering optimal views of the surrounding waters. To adapt to changing weather conditions, simply install clear curtains across the bridge deck aft, transforming the GT45X into an all-season sport-fisherman. Personalization is key with Hatteras Yachts, and the GT45X offers a variety of optional features. From a bow thruster and additional stateroom to teak accents and a flybridge option, you can customize your yacht to meet your specific needs. With a simple ala carte ordering process, just select your must-have options, start the engines and have your next angling adventure.

Huckins 45 Sportfisherman

The Huckins 45 Sportfisherman starts with the Florida boatbuilder’s patented Quadraconic hull . The Huckins’ Quadraconic name derives from four conical projections that make up the bottom surface shape. The sport-fisher has a deep forefoot and some measurable flare above the waterline for good buoyancy and dry running. A single chine rises from the waterline and then descends quickly to optimize spray control. The deep-V shape forward warps to a flat running surface far aft for efficient planing and excellent roll resistance.

Power is twin 480 hp Cummins diesels, which give this sportfish boat an easy 28-knot cruise. Top speed is 35 knots, so a 30-knot cruise is easily an option. The owner of the 45 Sportfisherman we got aboard is an avid stand-up angler and set up his boat with three flush-deck insulated fish boxes with macerators, a Dometic ice maker, two 28-foot Rupp outriggers, six gunwale rod holders, saltwater and freshwater washdowns, and a four-rod rocket launcher in lieu of a fighting chair.

Jarrett Bay 46

Originally named Persistence, this Jarrett Bay 46 was built for fishing enthusiast and NASCAR driver Jeff Burton. When creating his fully custom sportfish boat, Burton noted that his vessel would be both a fishing boat and a family boat. Fishing features include an in-transom fish box, a sailfish pod, insulated fish boxes and a tuna door (sans bridge) in the cockpit. Jarrett Bay installed three rod holders in each gunwale and six more across the flybridge rail, plenty of rod room for setting up a trolling spread. With upper and lower helm stations (the latter being an owner request), the Jarrett Bay 46 also gives the skipper options if the weather goes south. The Jarrett Bay 46 has ZF pod drives with underwater exhaust paired to twin 575 hp Caterpillar C9 diesels. At a comfortable 2,000-rpm cruise, this sport-fisher makes about 26 knots while those diesels consume 41 gallons per hour. Dial it up to a top-end speed of 35 knots and consumption goes up to 58.3 gph.

Viking Yachts 92

The Viking Yachts 92 is the largest sport-fisher the New Gretna, New Jersey-based boatbuilder has ever constructed. Offered with an open- or enclosed-bridge setup, the hefty sportfish boat (displacing around 205,000 pounds) hits 37-knots-plus when powered with optional 2,600 hp MTU diesels. At 2,100 rpm, this battlewagon cruises easily at 31 knots at 78 percent engine load. Dial it back to 28 knots, and engine load is a mere 70 percent. The 92-footer is also agile thanks to the Viking Independent Programmable Electrohydraulic Rudder (VIPER) steering system, a fly-by-wire setup that lets the helmsman control each rudder individually.

From an angling perspective, the 92 has 55-foot Rupp outriggers , fish stowage large enough for a wolf pack of bigeye tuna, space for a season’s worth of baits, secured gaff stowage and enough tackle drawers to handle all the lures and terminal gear an owner could ever buy. The Viking 92 also has six staterooms to accommodate owners, guests and crew for tournament season and long-haul adventure angling.

Like some of the other names on this list, Merritt is an iconic Pompano Beach, Florida-based, custom sportfish builder with a current model lineup that includes 66-, 72- and 86-foot convertible designs. The Merritt 72 is a model that has stood the test of time, and one that owners flock to year in and year out, for its fishability, seakindly nature and the ability to tailor the layout to an owner’s angling needs.

Because these boats are custom-built, the specifics can change from one 72 to another, but 30-knot cruise speeds and nearly 40-knot top-end speeds are common in all 72s, as are massive cockpits for fighting Hemingway-worthy marlin, stout construction for chasing those fish in the blue water and superyacht-level finishes inside and outside.

The entry point into Bertram’s three-model Offshore Series⎯spanning from 35 to 61 feet length overall⎯the Bertram 35 blends a familiar profile with modern power and technology to create a 36-knot angling juggernaut. This owner-operator-sized, Michael Peters -penned, flybridge sport-fisher starts with a wave-slicing, deep-V hull form with 22 degrees transom deadrise. The form is supported by a solid fiberglass hull bottom with cored hull sides for added strength without added weight.

The 35 has a 126-square-foot cockpit ready for any fish-fighting fanatic. Bertram sets up the 35 with rod holders, a livewell, in-deck fish boxes, and a transom door for the big ones. Optional teak decking and covering boards add a custom look. Inside, the salon is accented with teak and maple Amtico soles and overhead dimmer lighting. A wainscot-style ceiling houses rod stowage for big-game gear. Power is twin 500 hp Caterpillar C7.1 diesels matched to ZF drives. At a comfortable 27.5-knot cruise at just 68 percent engine load, the Bertram 35 has a 253-nautical-mile range, making it easily canyon-capable.

Viking Yachts 54 Open

Many anglers like open- or express-style sportfish designs as they enable the captain and crew to keep in close proximity, and the Viking 54 Open , which also is offered in a Sport Coupe or Sport Tower, does just that. The 54 Open’s bridge deck has a Palm Beach-style helm on centerline, flanked by a double-wide companion seat to port and a single seat to starboard. Abaft the helm and to port is U-shaped seating with a walnut table, creating a respite from the sun on tournament day while still allowing the crew to keep an eye on the spread via the open after bulkhead. Across from that seating is an L-shaped settee.

With a focus on fishing, the 54 Open has 154 square feet of cockpit real estate. Two sets of mezzanine seats offer perches for the crew to watch the spread. Other fishing-friendly features include a transom livewell, an in-deck fish box to starboard (with an optional livewell tub), an insulated in-deck box to port, a deck plate for mounting a rocket launcher or fighting chair, cooler stowage in the mezzanine steps (a bait freezer in the steps is optional), and a tuna door. Power is either twin 1,400 hp or 1,550 hp MAN diesels. For owners who prefer a three-sided fiberglass enclosure to a clear-plastic setup—but still want an open after bulkhead—Viking offers the 54 in the Sport Tower version. The 54 Sport Coupe model closes the after bulkhead, completely protecting the bridge deck from the elements.

The evolution of the sportfishing yacht has changed significantly over the past few decades, not just from the materials used in the hull, or the advancement in construction techniques, but from its true capabilities. Anglers move up from center-consoles to larger sportfishing yachts for several reasons, but the main one is that you can simply fish farther out and for longer periods of time. All sportfishing yachts were once entirely made of wood, and while some custom sport fishing boat manufacturers still build wooden boats, the vast majority of sportfishing yachts sold today use a high-quality composite that is resin-infused for maximum durability and performance. Hulls are larger, lighter, and stronger which means today's sport fishing boat can go faster and fit more on it. Many of the Viking Yachts or Hatteras Yachts today feature 3 to 4 staterooms, each with their own head along with oversized salons, enclosed bridges, flybridges, and more creature comforts to make your time on the water more enjoyable. The most popular style of sport fishing boat today has to be the Convertible Sportfish due to its versatility of having the open bridge, along with the amenities of a motor yacht .

There are thousands of yachts available on the United website through our MLS services, many of which are sportfishing boats. There are many different brands, styles, features, and capabilities of both custom and production sportfish sold today, and the team at United has years of experience both selling sportfish and working with the manufacturers on new builds.

The improvements in construction and added space have paved the way for larger, more powerful engines to be used in sportfishing yachts. Whether tournament-fishing or just a weekend warrior, getting to the fishing grounds quickly is imperative. Today's sportfish boats can cruise anywhere from 20 to 30 knots and exceed speeds of 50 knots with big twin diesel engines. How fast a sportfishing boat can go depends on several factors include engine horsepower, hull shape, the construction of the vessel, and the weight of the entire boat.

It's the amenities on board though that generally appeal to the owner who likes to fish with his family. Comfortable, air-conditioned salons, full galley's with lots of storage for extended trips, hot showers in en suite bathrooms can make any extended fishing trip more enjoyable with kids on board especially.

Sportfishing yachts are typically boats 50ft and over that are purpose-designed and built for offshore fishing in tournaments such as the Atlantic Ocean White Marlin Open of Ocean City, MD—the world’s largest billfish tournament with a multi-million-dollar payout, or for the adventure of chasing pelagic gamefish in remote spots around the world. Kona-Hawaii (Pacific Blue Marlin), Isla Mujeres-Mexico (Sailfish), New Zealand (Striped Marlin), Great Barrier Reef-Australia (Giant Black Marlin), along with Costa Rica, Belize, Honduras, Guatemala, are among the finest gamefish destinations.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sportfishing Boats:

What type of yacht is best for fishing?

Although one can cast or drop a line from just about any boat, for the serious sport and tournament fisherman, a vessel designed from the ground up for the rigors of offshore fishing in many conditions and often customized to the owner’s wishes, are the best choice. There are many variations of the two basic types of sportfish boats—the Express Sportfish and the Flybridge/Convertible Sportfish. The Flybridge Sportfish boats (45ft and under) are not technically Convertibles, but distinctions are blurred as they are often marketed as such. Express Sportfish models have two decks, the main deck with helm and cockpit, accommodations below deck and tend to be smaller.

Most likely it will have a tower, but no flybridge. Examples are the Gamefisherman 50 Express, Huckins 45 Sportfisherman, Cabo Express SF. All feature large cockpits that are uncluttered and set up for fishing action and may include in-deck fish boxes, livewells, rod holders, ice machine, fighting chair, aft steering, transom “tuna” doors, tackle storage and more. Many have towers with their own steering stations, outriggers, rocket launcher rod holders, and other features. Convertible Sportfisherman are larger and most often completely custom world-class yachts for tournament and long-range fishing adventures. Examples are Michael Rybovich & Sons sportfishing yachts, Hatteras GT series, Viking Convertibles, Jim Smith, Merritt, F&S, Bertram, Custom Carolina, and many more.

What is a Convertible Sportfishing boat?

Convertible Sportfish Yachts are typically 50ft or more with enclosed living area on the main deck and a flybridge with hard top or fully enclosed, in addition to accommodations below deck, and a large cockpit with a mezzanine deck with seating for guests to watch and enjoy the action. These yachts are often a custom build that combines the luxurious amenities of a motor yacht with the proven performance hull of a sportfisher, capable of converting to a cruising yacht, if desired. They will usually have a tower for spotting gamefish and utilize the latest technological advantages and fish-finding electronics, such as Furuno’s real-time 360-degree sonar systems, Seakeeper stabilizers, pod drives, powerful diesel engines and gensets, and much more. Convertible Sportfishers are evaluated on their seakeeping ability, stability and efficiency in speed and economy. Handling and performance underway or in fishing mode are vital, as they must be able to handle all types of conditions; many have redundant systems. The cockpit needs to be well arranged for anglers and crew to do battle with big trophy gamefish!

Example of a convertible sportfish:

How much does a Sportfishing Yacht cost?

How much are you willing to spend? There are too many variables with the vast array of manufacturers and builders of Sportfishing Yachts to put a single price out there. Currently the average cost to purchase a Sportfishing Yacht over 40ft in the Southeast Region of the United States is about $815,500. Sportfishing yachts tend to cost more than a cruising motor yacht of the same length because of the additional specialized equipment, electronics, and build features, especially for a custom sportfish. Convertible sportfishing yachts have both the luxury accommodations of a motor yacht and the specialized features of a high-end “fishing machine.” When considering the cost of ownership, as with any vessel, be sure to factor in dockage/storage, insurance, maintenance, fuel and other running costs, captain and crew salaries (if needed), taxes & fees, and more.

Currently under construction, the yacht will be equipped for the global pursuit of trophy gamefish such as swordfish and marlin that roam the world’s oceans, and a range of sportfishing options.

9 Massive Sportfishing Boats That Double as Luxe Superyachts

Here are our favorite megayacht-sized convertibles, along with a 35-foot retro classic for a little balance. happy fishing., kevin koenig, kevin koenig's most recent stories, open space, eco-friendly tech: what a rising class of millennial superyacht owners is looking for, ‘people don’t want to be inside’: how the outdoors became yachtmakers’ most coveted design element.

• Azimut’s New 72-Foot Yacht Has One of the Largest Flybridges in Its Class. We Hopped Onboard.
• Share This Article

There was a time not so long ago that a 50- or 60-foot convertible would have been the biggest sportfish in the marina. But times have changed, and in the place of those trusty battlewagons of yore has emerged a class of fishing boats that are their own subsect of the superyacht category.

Whether they’re built by semi-production giants, small-town custom builders, or as one-off projects by superyacht yards, these boats are designed to do one thing: catch monster fish. While most have the conventional shape—a long forefoot, tuna tower for sighting schools of fish or birds that are feeding on them, and the fighting chair in the cockpit—others are deviating into new territory.

Vanquish has a new 80-footer, with a plumb bow and cruiser-like profile, that has been modified as a serious sportfishing machine, while Royal Huisman is taking the concept into extreme superyacht territory with its 171-footer that’s a six-deck superyacht shaped like a huge convertible. This category is morphing somewhat with these new designs, but for the most part, the changes are more about luxurious interiors and better technology in the engine rooms.

Have a look at our list of the biggest and baddest luxury sportfishermen, plus one pint-sized classic thrown in for balance.

Viking is the leader of the semi-production sportfish market and its latest boat shows why. This new 90C flagship replaced a larger 92-footer so it could avoid the Tier III regulations that impacted the 92C. But the beauty is that this boat has the same size cockpit as the 92-footer and the same interior layouts, which include megayacht touches like a standard underlit Lumix bartop in the salon. This Viking has a top end of about 40 knots, and the company is looking to break that barrier as newer engines become available.

Jim Smith Tournament Boats 86

This beautiful convertible, named Gina Lisa, has a cold-molded wood hull penned by the world-famous naval architect Donald L. Blount and Associates. The hull is constructed out of mahogany while composite materials are used elsewhere. The 86 features a five-stateroom, five-head layout that means the crew will have some privacy while on the tournament trail. Cruise speed is said to be in the mid-30-knot range, a very respectable gallop for vessel that displaces 125,000 pounds.

‘Lanakai’ 130

From New Zealand’s Yachting Developments comes this monster of a sportfish. The 129-foot, all-carbon Lanakai is every bit a megayacht, albeit one with tuna and billfish in mind. Case in point, the massive, 59-foot-long Rupp outriggers give this yacht’s bait a formidable spread. Lanakai also has 6,300 hp powerplants, which helps it see speeds in the mid-30-knot range. The owner, who is on his fourth Yachting Developments hull, uses this boat, too. In his first 15 months aboard Lanakai logged 8,500 nautical miles.

Spencer 74 Centurion

Spencer Yachts builds its cold-molded vessels in tiny Wanchese, N.C., right in the heart of the Carolina custom sportfish world. Despite turning just a handful of boats each year, a Spencer 64 was the league leader in the 2022 Sport Fishing Championship. This 74 Centurion is the builder’s 100th hull. With twin 2,600 hp MTU V16 M96s, the 70 can top out at a very fast 44 knots while running at a 37-knot cruise. Its transom is done in carbon fiber.

Rybovich 62

This may not be the largest yacht on this list, but what’s lacking in size is made up for in pedigree, and arguably the most classic convertible lines in this group. Michael Rybovich & Sons in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, is one of the most recognizable names in all of yachting, with a history dating back to 1919. The 62 has a glass windshield that provides excellent natural light and good views in the cockpit—an uncommon feature for serious sportfishing boats. An aft galley arrangement will come in handy when frying up all the mahi this 62 is sure to land. And of course, there is the cockpit, which is designed for boating blue marlin.

Vripack 171

This 171-foot behemoth from Dutch naval architect Vripack in conjunction with Dutch yard Royal Huisman will hold the title of world’s largest sportfish when it launches. Thanks to clever design, this six-deck megayacht still holds true to the basic exterior lines of a sportfishing convertible. The designers said they were aiming for a penthouse aesthetic with the interior, and many of the decks are designed for optimal viewing of the fish-fighting action happening below. The hull and superstructure are made of aluminum. Vripack execs have described it as a “sportfish on steroids.”

Jarrett Bay 90

The 90-foot from Beaufort, North Carolina’s, Jarrett Bay Boatworks —a heavyweight in the Carolina-custom world—is notable for its advanced infusion and lamination techniques in the decks and superstructure. These construction methods were put into place to save weight, resulting in a faster top end and increased fuel efficiency. The cold-molded hull should provide a soft ride. That’s extra important for this boat, which will have a leggy range owing to a 4,000-gallon fuel tank. 

Vanquish VQ80

This VQ80 from Dutch dayboat builder Vanquish is a bit of a surprise because of its lines, which are more like a contemporary cruisers. But it’s a formidable steed for anglers, nonetheless. Conceived as a chase boat for a Heesen megayacht, the Guido de Groot design has a sizzling top end of more than 50 knots. As for creature comforts, the vessel has three staterooms and two heads—not lavish for an 80-footer but one has to assume the owner will likely sleep on the mothership. Will it start a new design for sportfish builders? Hardly likely, but it’s nice to see a new profile fishing the canyons.

Bertram 35FB

Bertram has always proved that a sportfisherman doesn’t need a megayacht-sized vessel to catch pelagics. Modeled on the Bertram 31, one of the most iconic powerboats ever, the Bertram 35 recaptures that classic boat’s magic with its modern hull and engines. Even at 35 feet, it has a workable cockpit for fighting fish, and flybridge helm for spotting them. The Bertram also has lines that harken back to its predecessor, meaning that wherever the boat pulls into port, it is sure to draw admirers. Most of the 35s are built at Bertram’s headquarters in Tampa, but it will also be built in Italy, though in smaller quantities.
