Top 13 Luxury Sport Fishing Yachts You Need to See

• By Yachting Staff
• Updated: August 8, 2024

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 sailfish and mahi-mahi off the beach in Palm Beach or campaigning a professional-level billfish crew on the high-profile (and big-money) tournament circuit from the Bahamas to Bermuda and back. 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 kicking; in-deck fish boxes to keep the catch chilled; and an armada of rod holders for drift fishing, kite fishing or trolling. They also are known for big diesel horsepower and speed, often north of 40 knots. Sportfish yachts are also notable for luxurious interiors with supple leathers, granite countertops, high-end galley appliances and spacious staterooms. These are highly self-sufficient angling platforms geared for life beyond the horizon where the water is deep and the fish are big.

Viking Yachts 82 Convertible

Viking Yacht Company recently debuted its newest sport-fisherman: the 82 Convertible . Hull No. 1 is serving as the factory demo for the busy summer tournament season in Bermuda and along the East Coast. Thanks to many factors, including the use of computational fluid dynamics, performance is exceptional: twin MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines provide a reported 42-knot top hop and a 36-knot cruise speed. This 82-footer also leverages several proven systems for ease of use and efficiency, such as digital switching from Octoplex as well as the Optimus electronic power steering system. The Viking 82 is engineered for many systems that were previously custom installations and are now on the options sheet, including omnidirectional sonar, multiple water makers and crushed ice machines, tuna tube bait systems as well as the extensive use of refrigerated storage boxes. The Viking 82 is available in three models: open bridge, enclosed bridge and sky bridge.

Quick Specifications

Royal Huisman 171

A 171-foot sportfisherman? Yes. That’s exactly what the six-deck Special One is, from Dutch builder Royal Huisman. The interior and exterior design is from noted Dutch yacht-design firm Vripack, which calls the vessel “a sport-fisher 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. 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 and Sons 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 III 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.

Release Boatworks 43 Gameboat

Reminiscent of arguably one of the most classic sport-fishing boats of all time—the 43-foot Merritt—the 43 Gameboat from Release Boatworks takes that design to a new level of sophistication and performance. These include a hull built using blister-resistant modified epoxy resin, which is vacuum-infused using Airex foam cores with E-glass hybrid fiberglass laminates to maximize strength while minimizing weight. The stringers are built with fiberglass encapsulated foam, and the bulkheads are vacuum-infused with composite cores. The extensive use of composite materials throughout the boat creates a strong finished product and saves a great deal of weight, providing admirable performance. With standard twin 550 hp Cummins QSB6.7 diesels, the 43 Gameboat cruises at 30 knots and tops out at 35 knots. Notable options include 600 hp Cummins QSCs or Volvo Penta D-8s, omni sonar, gyrostabilization and various tower options. The Release 43 Gameboat is also available in walkaround, flybridge walkaround or express layouts.

Viking Yachts 38 Billfish

The Viking Yachts 38 Billfish offers a special place in the hearts of bluewater sport-fishing enthusiasts around the world, with its combination of versatility, comfort and performance. The reasons are numerous. As an owner-operator vessel, the 38 Billfish offers simplicity and ease of maintenance, serving as a ready-to-go fishing machine that is equally adept at inshore and offshore excursions as well as for extended cruising with family and friends, thanks to its reliable inboard diesel power. It has a large cockpit as well as the speed and range to fish well offshore alongside much larger vessels, while also providing a fast, safe and comfortable ride in a variety of sea conditions.

Jarrett Bay Boatworks 64

North Carolina’s Jarrett Bay Boatworks latest build is the 64-foot beauty known as Rebelette . From its spacious tackle center to a one-of-a-kind walnut interior Hull No. 65 is a tailored fit, and it also has the latest in propulsion tech in the form of twin 2,025 hp Caterpillar C23B diesels. Taking full advantage of the Cat power, Rebelette cruises ­comfortably at 1,750 rpm while making an easy 31 knots. With 1,650 gallons of fuel, it has range to spare at this speed. Push this vessel up to 1,950 rpm to reach a fast cruising speed of 37 knots, which is impressive in any book. Wide-open throttle is 43 knots, fully loaded and ready to fish.

F&S Boatworks 82

F&S Boatworks’ stellar reputation stands tall in the world of custom sportfish builders so it’s no surprise that its latest creation, the 82-foot Special Situation , continues the tradition. One of the hallmarks of any F&S is the performance and Special Situation certainly doesn’t disappoint in that department. Powered by a pair of  2,600 hp MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines, at 2,000 rpm and 80 percent engine load, cruising speed is 36 knots, burning just south of 200 gallons per hour. Backing off to 1,650 rpm, it’s using 122 gph at 28 knots. At the other end of the spectrum, the top hop is more than 42 knots at 2,450 rpm.

Bayliss Boatworks 60

The 60-foot Sequentis was recently delivered to its new owners by the team at Bayliss Boatworks and it represents the first walkaround design for the storied North Carolina custom boatbuilder. Designed for live-bait tournament sailfishing in South Florida, Sequentis has 360-degree fishability as well as multiple livewells and pitch-bait tubes. And in a sport where having the ability to quickly relocate to a hot bite can mean the difference between finishing in first place or dead last, Sequentis is also fast. Powered by two MTU 12V2000 M96X diesel engines, it reportedly hit speeds of well over 42 knots during the initial sea trials in July 2024.

Viking Yachts 90

The flagship of the Viking fleet, the 90 Convertible , has improved elements including the builder’s latest lifting-strake design, a refined driveline and prop pockets, and advanced propulsion systems. Performance was optimized through the use of computational fluid dynamics software, allowing the Viking design team to analyze pressure distribution, study trim angle and trim tab effectiveness, and modify the strakes and chines to increase running efficiency.

Merritt 88 Sky Bridge

Merritt’s Boat & Engine Works introduces its latest, an 88-foot sky bridge designed for global sportfishing. Featuring luxurious interiors, advanced electronics and twin 2,600 hp MTU engines, this sport-fisherman offers yacht-level comfort, high performance and functionality for long-range angling adventures. The Merritt 88’s performance is greatly enhanced due to the extensive use of carbon fiber, Corecell and advanced epoxy in its construction, making this boat not only stronger, but also lighter weight and faster than its predecessors.

The new 70-footer from Duffie Boatworks , Dem Boys exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship, with notable features such as a luxurious four-stateroom layout and high-tech systems, including a proprietary closed-loop freshwater cooling system to virtually eliminate fouling. At 2,000 rpm, the Duffie 70 has a fast cruise of 36.5 knots, enough to make those long runs to the distant offshore canyons considerably quicker, while consuming less than 200 gph. At top hop, Dem Boys hit 43.5 knots.

Albemarle 53 Spencer Edition

Albemarle Boats and Spencer Yachts formed a partnership to design and build a semicustom Carolina boat, with the goal of bringing in the characteristic design elements, styling and performance from the custom world but to do it in a production setting, allowing for faster build times on the order of months rather than years. It was a dream several years in the making, and the result is the Albemarle 53 Spencer Edition .

Winter Custom Yachts

Tim Winters and his team of boatbuilders at Winter Custom Yachts in North Carolina have truly optimized the walkaround concept, taking full advantage of its inherent versatility. Anglers are no longer confined to the limited space in the cockpit and have the freedom to fight fish all the way around the boat from bow to stern. Even just taking the family on a shorthanded picnic cruise is safer and easier since everyone has full access to the bow without having to navigate a slippery deck. Its latest 46-footer , Thumper , is one of the most versatile boats in this size range on the water today.

Description

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. Our brokers will share with you what they think is the best sport fishing boat available on the market. Let the United team help you in your search to find the perfect sportfishing boat, call our main office today at (772) 463-3131. United is also a dealer for new Hatteras Yachts and Cabo Yachts .

SPEAK TO A SALES PROFESSIONAL

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.

Below are several prominent custom and production sportfishing boat brands :

• Bayliss Boatworks
• Bertram Yachts
• Buddy Davis Boats
• Egg Harbor Boats
• F&S Yachts
• Gamefisherman Boats

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.

There's a bevy of equipment that can maximize your yield on any sport fishing yacht, from outriggers to towers and livewells, there are many modifications you can make for your sport fishing yacht. Fishing towers can give you an eagle eye view to spot large schools of fish, or where your next huge catch is waiting.

Six rescued from life raft after fishing boat catches fire in Atlantic

Courtesy: U.S. Coast Guard

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. (WHDH) - Six people were rescued from a life raft in the Atlantic Ocean after they escaped a burning fishing boat Sunday night, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

The 81-foot boat, called the Three Girls, caught fire about 105 nautical miles east of Portsmouth, N.H., the Coast Guard said in a statement. Four crew members, the captain, and a NOAA observer were onboard at the time.

At 8:56 p.m., the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Northern New England received a mayday call from the Three Girls.

The six onboard were preparing to abandon ship and sent out an emergency locator beacon signal, according to the Coast Guard.

The military sent fast response cutter USCGC William Chadwick, a helicopter, and a turboprop plane to respond to the fishing boat’s location, all arriving by 10:30 p.m., the Coast Guard said. The Three Girls’ sister ship, Princess Laura, also responded.

All six people were found on a life raft and brought onto the William Chadwick by 11:30 p.m. No major injuries were reported, the Coast Guard said.

On Monday morning, the crew of the William Chadwick brought the six to a pier in South Portland, Maine.

'We're alright:' Captain, crew recall terrifying boat fire aboard Portland fishing vessel

by Brad Rogers , WGME

PORTLAND (WGME) -- A fire at sea forced the crew of a Portland fishing vessel to abandon ship Sunday night.

The fishing boat "Three Girls" caught fire around 9 p.m. Sunday while the crew was getting ready to haul in their nets.

They had just minutes to get into an inflatable lifeboat before the fire overtook the ship.

Portland firefighters doused the fishing boat with water, then twice put foam on the smoldering fire to put it out.

One crew member says the last thing he did was go into the smoke-filled cabin to grab five survival suits before abandoning ship.

"We stayed until we couldn’t stay anymore," rescued crew member Steve Ames said.

The fishing vessel “Three Girls” was towed into Portland Harbor Wednesday afternoon, still burning from a Sunday night fire at sea that forced the captain and crew to quickly abandon ship.

"I remember looking at the inside of the galley and seeing a glow and seeing the fire, and looking at the water and being like, ‘This is really happening.’ And all of a sudden, the fire came out on deck,” Ames said.

Ames credits Captain Rob Roberge for quickly deciding to abandon ship, and for getting off a radio message to the Coast Guard telling them their position in the Gulf of Maine.

"United States Coast Guard,” Roberge said. “United States Coast Guard. This is the fishing vessel ‘Three Girls.’ We are on fire."

"He barely had time to make that distress call,” Ames said. “Smoke filled the wheelhouse. He couldn’t breathe. So what he got out, what people heard, we knew help was on the way.”

The captain, four-man crew and an observer from NOAA all safely made it onto a life raft.

All but the captain were wearing survival suits.

From a distance, they could see the burning boat.

"We’re alright,” Ames said. “Just waiting on the helicopter.”

They were rescued two hours later by a Coast Guard cutter out of Portland.

Ames says Roberge's quick decisions saved their lives.

"If he chose to fight that fire, if we went down in that engine room, it would have been, it wouldn’t have been a happy story like it is right now,” Ames said. “No way. No way. A boat fire is not good. That’s the worst-case scenario. And we just all escaped that. Everyone was alive. Nobody hurt. Like, we were happy.”

Marine animals and debris are mixed together on the deck of the 607 Yeongjin-ho fishing vessel, which operated in the southern waters off Jeju from July 3 to 10. Korea Times photo by Yu Dae-geun

Indonesian sailor Suyandi, 41, struggling with the Korean language, shouted on July 6, "No, no! (thumb extended) The big ones go here. (pinky extended) The small ones go there," while gesturing with his right hand and wearing a slightly frustrated expression.

As a rookie crew member, this reporter from the Hankook Ilbo, 43, was still feeling intimidated after four days aboard the fishing vessel.

Even simple instructions, such as placing the smaller shrimp in the left plastic box and the larger ones in the right, were confusing, which understandably frustrated the more experienced sailors. When a southwesterly wind brushed past, the sailors' expressions turned grim. The hot and humid wind made the already grueling work under the scorching sun even more unbearable.

The 607 Yeongjin-ho was floating 68 kilometers southwest of Jeju Island, in the South Sea's golden fishing grounds, where nothing was supposed to escape the nets.

This journey began on the recommendation of an experienced Jeju fisherman. Han Cheol-nam, 62, the head of Shinsan-ri Fishing Village in Jeju Island's Seogwipo, spoke with a troubled expression to this reporter who had come to investigate the sea polluted with trash.

"Was our sea really so overrun with trash that it was beyond recovery? Was this not just fishermen complaining about their reduced income?" Despite enjoying seafood regularly, I had never really considered the conditions in which fish and other creatures lived before reaching our tables.

This prompted me to board a fishing vessel for an extended period to observe and assist with operations in the waters off Jeju, where a variety of marine species are caught.

After several rejections and a month of persistence, I finally secured a spot on the 138-ton bottom trawler Yeongjin-ho. Thus began a grueling seven-day, 166-hour fishing expedition in the middle of summer.

For the crew of the Yeongjin-ho, clearing debris caught in the nets is a daily routine. They removed items like a drum, left, and large plastic waste of unknown use. The nets also brought up tangled waste such as old fishing nets and a discarded air conditioner. Korea Times photo by Yu Dae-geun

Fearless veteran captain, but one thing terrifies him

Captain Kwak Woon-young, 63, of the Yeongjin-ho is a seafarer with little to fear. Born on Narodo, a remote island village of Goheung, South Jeolla Province, he first boarded a fishing boat in Busan in 1981.

For over 40 years, he has weathered countless life-threatening situations while hauling nets. He has fallen overboard and been rescued five or six times while working at sea. There is only one thing that truly scares him: "Biggest fear is not catching any fish."

On the Yeongjin-ho, Captain Kwak is joined by a crew of eight. A poor catch threatens not only their livelihoods but also the well-being of their families.

Kwak, who met his wife during a time when people gossiped about not marrying off daughters to fishermen due to the dangerous nature of the job, has raised two children.

Fishing is the only trade he is truly skilled at, making this particular voyage all the more critical. July marks the end of the fishing season, a time to wrap up for the year.

The main marine species caught by the Yeongjin-ho in the southern waters off Jeju are, from left, ridgeback shrimp, which is profitable in summer due to high prices; conger eel, a species frequently hauled in with every catch; and croaker, typically in season during winter but occasionally caught in summer as well. Korea Times photo by Yu Dae-geun

Since October of the previous year, the Yeongjin-ho had been operating nonstop in the distant waters off Jeju, and after 10 months, the fishing season was coming to an end. Reflecting on the past year, Captain Kwak acknowledged it has been tough.

Adding to the challenges, the costs of operating the vessel have soared in recent years. The Yeongjin-ho's owner, Kim Ik-soo, 66, said that "fishermen are being crushed by quadruple hardships," referring to high fuel costs, reduced catch volumes, rising interest rates and stagnant seafood prices.

Indeed, duty free diesel prices have skyrocketed since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine more than two years ago. Meanwhile, the interest rates on loans taken out by boat owners to pay for the vessels have also risen sharply.

In contrast, the price of croakers, which was 300,000 won ($225) per 25-kilogram box a decade ago, has now plummeted to 150,000 won, according to Kim. Many fisheries businesses are collapsing under the pressure.

With all these adversities, the only thing the fishermen can do is try to catch more. On the morning of July 3, the Yeongjin-ho set sail from Hwasun Port in Seogwipo with the faint hope of a full catch.

Even this reporter, whose only fishing experience was at a winter smelt festival, submitted a health certificate to the Coast Guard and boarded as an official crew member.

First day's catch: onslaught of trash

"Three knots..." Captain Kwak murmured as he looked at the fishfinder monitor in the wheelhouse. Nine hours had passed since the ship had set sail. The ship's speed had dropped from four knots, indicating that the nets, which had been cast into the sea five hours earlier, were full.

The captain, sensing something, pressed the red buzzer next to the helm with a stern expression. The operation bell blared in the crew quarters on the first floor.

The three Korean crew members and five Indonesians, who had been resting in their small, coffin-like 1.9-square-meter rooms, quickly donned their work overalls and white rubber boots before heading out on deck.

Still queasy from seasickness and having vomited twice on an empty stomach, I followed dully behind them.

On the deck, the winch was already hard at work, pulling up the nets with a dull roar. After about 10 minutes, the bulging net bag began to appear at the stern. Expectations of fish and plump shrimp quickly vanished as a pile of trash spilled out. A few fish and crustaceans were buried beneath the debris.

The trash was varied — worn-out fishing nets discarded by fishermen, 20-liter oil cans, instant noodle packaging, instant coffee wrappers, beverage cans, 1.5-liter water bottles, plastic bags — mostly plastic products that had sunk to the seabed.

If not caught in the nets, these items would have remained in the deep sea for hundreds of years, slowly breaking down and likely being consumed by unsuspecting fish.

The reality witnessed by the novice crew member was far harsher than imagined. The foreign crew members began sorting the fish from the trash.

The sea was in shambles, yet the only one shocked on the boat was me. For the crew, this was a familiar sight. They silently went about their work, first cutting the tangled nets with sharp knives and placing the pieces into 200-liter sacks.

Large debris like cans was removed by hand, while smaller trash was scraped up with a three-pronged rake and pushed to the edge of the deck. After clearing out the "unwelcome guests" of the sea, such as seaweed from China, silt, inedible jellyfish and bycatch, there was little left.

The meager catch consisted of three boxes of red shrimp, seven boxes of conger eel and a few croakers, octopus and other small fish. It was a poor haul compared to the effort of the 10 crew members who had labored for over two hours on the rocking deck.

Even after crunching the numbers, the results were disappointing. The fuel cost for the five-hour journey was 1 million won, while the fish caught were worth only 2 million won. After factoring in labor, insurance for the vessel and crew and other expenses, the operation was a loss.

In addition, four 200-liter sacks were filled with trash weighing around 100 kilograms to 120 kilograms. This area had been cleaned just a few months ago by a 300-ton garbage collection ship, meaning it was relatively clean compared to other areas.

After finishing the work, the ship's first mate, Hong Soon-ki, 42, who had been smoking a cigarette with a look of frustration, asked, "What on earth are we supposed to do about this?"

Trapped by fishermen's own nets

This sea was once clear, before humans ruined it. The waters between Marado and Ieodo, the southernmost land of Korea, were rich in nutrients, forming a dense ecosystem, from plankton to sharks. As a result, yellow croakers and other fish would migrate north to spawn but could never forget this pristine environment and would return.

Chinese fishing boats would also salivate at the thought of crossing over to these fishing grounds whenever they had the chance.

Captain Kwak said, "After summer passes and the weather cools, the Korean fishing boats, along with Chinese trawlers, gillnetters and pair trawlers, will swarm in, leaving no room for anyone else to fish."

He recalled that the golden fishing grounds had deteriorated rapidly about five or six years ago. When the waters around Jeju experienced an abundance of yellow croakers, the number of gillnet fishing boats increased dramatically.

These gillnetters would spread over 16 kilometers of nets in the sea at a time, waiting for the schools of fish. While spreading more than 2 to 3 kilometers of nets is illegal, an even bigger problem is that many of these boats would simply dump their used nets into the sea.

As a result, 90 percent of the marine debris found in the southern seas of Jeju consists of discarded fishing gear such as gillnets. Since the large-scale importation of cheap nets from China and Vietnam, fishermen have begun treating their nets as disposable.

According to an unpublished report by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, coastal gillnet fishing boats discard approximately 14,424 tons of marine debris annually, a figure comparable to the total weight of yellow croakers caught in Korean waters last year.

Off-duty Virginia firefighter rescues 6 people from boat fire near James River Bridge

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — An off-duty firefighter helped rescue six men from the water near the James River Bridge on Sunday.

Jason Edwards, a 25-year veteran of the Newport News Fire Department, was on his fishing boat with his father and a friend when the emergency started. He says maybe two minutes after they left the marina, he saw a boat with heavy smoke coming from it.

“Over to my left by the bridge was the six individuals. Three of them had life vests. One of them had a safety ring and they had made their way up to the pilings," described Edwards.

They managed to get the men onboard. According to Edwards, two of them suffered severe burns.

“They were panicked. They were very thankful to see us. They were thankful to be able to get in the boat.”

WATCH: Boat runs aground; marine authorities talk safety

The boat was taken in and authorities are investigating to find out what caused the fire. Chief Wesley Rogers is proud but not surprised to hear that Edwards jumped into action.

“It shows you the true heart that our first responders have,” said Rogers. “A lot of individuals would just kind of watch, report it as they sit, but our first responders think, ‘Hey, I’ve got to get out there. I’ve got to help.’ And that’s exactly what he did. He went right towards the danger. Without him, we don’t know what could have happened, but those individuals were lucky to have an individual like that ready to go and in that situation at the right time.”

“I’ve been on the boat my whole life, been on the water my whole life," Edwards added. "Owned several boats before and never been in a situation like that, to have to rescue someone into the boat.”

Emergency services locate two bodies in waters off SA's Kangaroo Island after boat capsizes

Two 65-year-old men from Kingscote have been found dead in waters north of Kangaroo Island after their boat capsized.

Police say emergency services found the overturned vessel and located the bodies in water nearby.

What's next?

SafeWork SA has been notified of the deaths and the police are preparing a report for the Coroner.

Two fishermen have been found dead in waters just north of South Australia's Kangaroo Island after their boat capsized.

SA Police said they were alerted to the overturned vessel off the coast of Cassini at 4:15pm on Wednesday.

Emergency services found the overturned vessel and located the bodies in water nearby, police said.

The men were both aged 65 and from Kingscote on Kangaroo Island.

SafeWork SA has been notified of the deaths and police will prepare a report for the Coroner.

A SafeWork SA spokesperson said its inspectors were making enquiries including liaising with police and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, but were unable to provide any further information at the current time.

Kangaroo Island Mayor Michael Pengilly told ABC Radio Adelaide that it was a "very dark day" for the families and island.

"It's just a terribly, terribly sad occasion and my heart goes out to the families," Mr Pengilly said. 

He said the men were commercial fishermen from Kangaroo Island and knew the waters well. 

However, he said they were sailing through thick fog when the boat capsized. 

"Something has gone tragically wrong and as you know the sea doesn't take any prisoners and unfortunately we've lost two of our very good people."

"I know someone the other day that went fishing out of Penneshaw on a sea fog and thought they were going back to Penneshaw and ended up at Island Beach. So the fog is very deceptive."

Meanwhile, police have found a man in his 70s who went missing while kayaking along the Coorong, south-east of Adelaide. 

The kayaker set off on a trip from Goolwa on Monday and the alarm was raised after he stopped making regular contact.

Police said they were able to make contact with the man by phone just after 11pm on Wednesday and confirmed he was safe.

"The man was subsequently sighted safe and well this morning by police near Long Island," SA Police said.
