Supersize Sport-Fishers

• By Chris Caswell
• Updated: January 12, 2021

Once upon a time, sport-fishing boats were sized to meet lesser demands. Ernest Hemingway’s Pilar was 38 feet, which was large enough to get him into the Gulf Stream to chase marlin and the occasional U-boat during World War II. The first Rybovich, Miss Chevy II , was just 34 feet long, while the first Hatteras convertible sport-fisher, Knit Wits , pushed the length-overall envelope at 41 feet some 60 years ago.

Today, sport-fishers have soared past the 90-plus-foot mark with regularity, ranging up to the 144-foot Trinity Bad Company (originally Marlena ) that carries a dozen guests and a half-dozen crew on adventures to far-flung fishing grounds.

For years, both production and custom-built sport-fishers have grown. Owners demanded vessels that were bigger and more comfortable for running on their own bottoms from the United States to the fertile Pacific waters of Costa Rica and Guatemala to chase supersize sailfish and blue, black and striped marlin. To chug across the Atlantic for the summer billfish tournaments in Bermuda. To chase world records, wherever the bite was at the moment. It’s an attitude reminiscent of the film Endless Summer , where surfers gallop around the planet in search of the perfect wave.

The builders Viking, Hatteras and Bertram have long been the 900-pound gorillas of production sport-fishers, drawing the line at around 90 feet, with the Viking 92 emerging as a front-runner in this category. To date, Viking has built 19 of its 92-footers, with hull numbers 20 and 21 currently in production. While the Hatteras 92 and Bertram 80 are out of production, they still enjoy popularity on the brokerage market.

On the custom, cold-molded construction side of sport-fish yachts, North Carolina’s Jarrett Bay Boatworks launched the 90-foot Jaruco in 2017. The boat is a 44-knot battlewagon with a foredeck for touch-and-go helicopter landings. And for those who believe wooden hulls raise more fish, Bayliss Boatworks—also in North Carolina—has the 90-foot Reel Wheels II , with five staterooms and 38-knot speed, making quick work of runs to the canyons or back to the scales on tournament day.

In general, the hallmarks of a great sport-fisher, at least those in the 40-to-60-foot range, have included nimbleness when fighting a fish, as well as speed. Today’s larger sport-fishers can compete in those areas as well.

Consider the 92-foot Viking Fa La Me , owned by Frank Rodriguez. It swept the Bermuda Triple Crown tournament series with the highest point total in the event’s history and became the first three-time winner of the series. Another 92-foot Viking, A Work of Art , grabbed second place in the 2017 Orange Beach Billfish Classic release division, and the 95-foot Jim Smith Relentless Pursuit took the tournament in 2019 with a 658.2-pound blue marlin and third-place wahoo.

The reigning queen of the mega-sport-fisher world, though, continues to be Bad Company , which was at first 132 feet length overall and subsequently stretched. Its top speed with twin 3,500 hp Paxman V-12s is 33 knots, which at first blush may not seem special. Keep in mind, however, that a 300-gross-ton 144-footer traveling at 33 knots can maintain that speed in rough seas while smaller, albeit faster sport-fishers have to pull the throttles way back. The amount of hull in the water matters.

The newest of the big-gun sport-fishers is the 130-foot Lanakai . Michael Peters designed it, and New Zealand’s Yachting Developments built it. It is the largest carbon-fiber sport-fisher and has twin 3,150 hp V-12 MTU 4000 M93 diesels that reportedly push it to 30 knots while carrying 10 guests and six crew in superyacht style.

So what changed to make larger sport-fishers tournament-viable, aside from owners being willing to spend considerably more money on a bigger boat?

First, of course, is maneuverability, which is essential—especially when faced with an angry blue marlin. Hydraulic bow thrusters are a key component of these vessels, allowing a captain to position the yacht precisely when backing down hard. Captains describe the big sport-fishers as being just as nimble as smaller boats.

On Fa La Me , one of the secret weapons is the fly-by-wire Viking independent programmable electrohydraulic rudders, eliminating the tie bars between rudders, and allowing independent rudder control, much like pod drives but with conventional shafts and props. The setup optimizes maneuverability at low speeds. Add to that modern technology such as joystick controls, which make the captain’s job easier. Two fingers on a joystick on the bridge rail keeps the yacht perfectly positioned for the crew in the cockpit.

Available horsepower has also driven up the sport-fisher’s length overall, with up to 7,000 hp now tucked into engine rooms for hammer-down power. Add in other technology such as gyrostabilizers that make a yacht more secure for stand-up tackle, and the result is large sport fishing yachts that are as agile as smaller sport-fishers in the hands of an experienced helmsman.

Sheer size has other benefits. Consider the cockpit on Bad Company , which spans the vessel’s 27-foot beam. A half-dozen crew can be prepping bait and rigging lines and leaders, and never be crowded. That same width also allows outriggers that spread 120 feet to get lines into clean trolling lanes.

Mega-sport-fishers also have more balconies and mezzanines than Italy’s La Scala opera house, so it’s easier to keep a eye on the spread. Three decks on most offer good viewing of the fishing action. And the height matters. A taller flybridge allows for better visibility than tuna towers on smaller craft.

Larger yachts also mean more rod-and-tackle stowage and immense fridges and freezers with multiple ice chippers to keep the catch fresh and cool. Enclosed bridges provide comfort on extended passages as well as weather protection on snotty days.

The owner of Lanakai , according to Peters, puts those and other features to good use. “This owner is an absolute sportsman and adventurer,” Peters says. “He wants to stay out for weeks. He wants to fish Fiji and the [Great] Barrier Reef. He wants to roam far and wide in search of big fish. He had an 85-footer, and it simply wasn’t big enough for his goals. Besides, it’s not just about fishing; a water-level cockpit gives great access to the water for diving too.”

This type of boat is indeed a beautiful thing. As Luiz de Basto, designer of the 105-foot Broward Odyssey and the 95-foot Seaforce IX sport-fisher series, puts it: “Something that I, as a yacht designer, realized many years ago is that the pure, classic fishing boat—its unique purpose and the resulting lines—are probably the most original creation of the vast and diverse American pleasure-boat universe. From 30-footers to the largest ones, they all share a sporting purpose and beautiful elegance that demonstrates America’s ingenuity at its best.”

The style also represents fishing at its finest. Sam Gershowitz—owner of the Star Island Yacht Club and Marina in Montauk, New York—is a serial owner of sport-fishers, all named Marlena . His current big gun is a 105-foot Jim Smith. When asked how he planned to fish the boat, his answer perfectly summed up mega-sport-fishers: “very comfortably.”

The 10 Biggest Sportfish Yachts Ever Built

Check out the largest sportfish yachts on the water..

The largest sportfish yachts are designed for luxurious multi-day outings with family or friends, as well as heading far offshore in search of the biggest fish in the deepest waters. Sportfish yachts are powerboats built to arrive at fishing grounds fast, with a hull design capable of cruising through any sea conditions. Most are equipped with tournament fishing options such as tuna towers, kill boxes, large tackling stations, ice makers, and live bait wells. Here are 10 of the biggest sportfish yachts ever built. These fishing boats are very impressive.

1. 144′ Trinity 1998 | MARLENA

At the time of her delivery in 1998 by Trinity Yachts , MARLENA was the largest sportfish yacht in the world at 126 feet. In 2013, she was purchased by an owner who lengthened her to her current length of 144 feet. She was sold again and is undergoing a refit including a complete repower.

2. 138’ McMullen & Wing 2003 | MEA CULPA

When Jack Sarin was tasked with designing MEA CULPA, he was given the challenge of designing a boat that could fish in the most remote corners of the world but hold her own in the stylish ports of the Caribbean and the Mediterranean . With no expense spared in terms of quality and comfort and decked out with an impressive array of fishing equipment, she manages to achieve both and has fished and cruised all over the world.

3. 128′ Heesen 1999 | RED SAPPHIRE

Capable of 34 knots, RED SAPPHIRE is a Heesen 3900 sportfishing yacht built to ABS class. She features a semi-displacement aluminum hull and aluminum superstructure, with teak decks. Equipped with an ultra-modern stabilization system, she’s powered by 2 MTU 16V4000 M90 3,644hp diesel engines and propelled by her twin screws propellers. Heesen also built OBSESSIONAS, a 125-foot sportfish in 1996, and KARYATIS, a 105-foot sportfish in 2005.

4. 122’ Trinity | MARY P

MARY P was the first hull built and launched by the Trinity Yachts’ New Orleans shipyard after its post-Katrina reopening of that shipyard on July 5, 2006. With naval architecture by Doug Sharp of Sharp Designs, many other unique details enhance her role as a sportfishing yacht, such as a fully automated anchor deployment and retrieval system, specially designed underwater lighting to enhance her performance when night fishing, and a flybridge that maintains a good line of sight for the captain.

5. 119’ Denison 1991 | PHARAOH

With naval architecture by Joe Langlois, PHARAOH, now SEACALL, is considered the queen of tournament sports fishing and angling. The sportfish motor yacht features four double staterooms, 5 heads, a spacious salon and galley, extensive electronics, and twin 1960hp MTU diesel engines. She was refit in 2005.

6. 114′ Logos Marine 2008 | SEYA

SEYA raises the question — at what point does a yacht stop being a sportfish and instead becomes a superyacht with a fishing cockpit? She was built in 2008 for a Middle Eastern client who specifically requested a cold-molded yacht due to his positive experience with this sturdy material. Logos’ 105-foot custom sportfish is also built with the same cold-molded, laminated epoxy wood with a fiberglass/epoxy skin.

7. 112’ Hakvoort 1988 | ACE OF DIAMONDS

ACE OF DIAMONDS (formerly SEA EAGLE) was custom built by Hakvoort Shipyard . This luxury sportfish vessel’s sophisticated exterior design and engineering are the work of Pieter Beeldsnijder Design. She was last refitted in 2005.

8. 108′ Burger 2001 | SARAH BETH

Few sportfishing yachts have what it takes to make long passages to remote fishing locations with both speed and comfort. One that does is the 108’ Burger SARAH BETH. Powered by a pair of Detroit Diesel MTU 12V4000s, this sportfish exploration yacht has an 8,025-gallon fuel capacity can cruise at 24 knots, and tops out at 28 knots.

9. 105′ Jim Smith Boats | MARLENA

The latest masterwork by Jim Smith Tournament Boats of Stuart, Florida, MARLENA was designed and built for Sam Gershowitz, owner of Star Island Yacht Club in Montauk, New York. She is the largest boat built by Jim Smith Boats.

10. 105′ Broward 2002 | ODYSSEY

Delivered in spring 2002, this Broward was powered with the new MTU 16V2000 series easily one of the most amazing sportfish yachts ever built. ODYSSEY was built for Glenn Straub, the former owner of Broward Marine. She was designed by Luiz de Basto and the interior is by the Broward in-house design team.

Sportfish yachts, no matter how big or small, are well suited for offshore fishing and cruising. Contact a Denison yacht broker to purchase your next fishing boat.

Four sales in six days for Yachtzoo

Yachtzoo, the monaco-based brokerage firm, has completed its fourth sale in six days.….

Yachtzoo has completed its fourth sale in six days, amassing 162.5m of sold superyacht. Three of the finalised deals were completed in-house with the Yachtzoo team representing both the buyer and the seller.  

On 12 May, the 50m Heesen vessel, M/Y Galactica , was sold in an in-house deal for €19.5 million. She is part of the successful ‘Pelican Bow’ series and was the Dutch yard’s flagship vessel at the time of her launch. Galactica is an all-aluminium design with a semi-displacement hull. She features the naval architecture and exterior work of Heesen’s in house team, with Omega Architects providing a contemporary interior with large living spaces as per the owner’s request.

50m Galactica

On 16 May, 32m M/Y Battleship was sold in an in-house deal for $3.2 million. Battleship was built in GRP by Lazzara Yachts and delivered in 2003. She is able to accommodate 10 guests in four cabins, which can become five with the addition of a convertible private office. The interior is high-gloss African cherry wood, with fine carpets, custom fabrics and granite. She is currently based in Fort Lauderdale.

32m Battleship

On 18 May, the 43.9m sportfish motoryacht Marlena  was sold in an in-house deal for $4.9 million. Upon delivery in 1998, the all-aluminium build, then measuring 38.4m, was the largest sportfish yacht in the world. She was built by Trinity Yachts for an avid fisherman, who sold her in 2003, before the second owner took her to Spain for an extensive refit, including a six metre hull extension. The slender design’s planing hull and low gross tonnage permits for a cruising speed of 23 knots and a maximum speed of 26 knots, powered by her two Paxman 12V P185 engines.

43.9m Marlena

Also on 18 May, 36.6m M/Y  Aspen Alternative was sold for a final asking price of $4.75 million, with the Yachtzoo team representing the seller and Talbot Freeman & Associates introducing the buyer. She was delivered by Sovereign Yachts in 2002 and features the exterior work of Setzer Design Group with the interior design of Patrick Knowles. She is a popular yacht for charter, with spaces primed for entertainment over the expansive flybridge and main deck aft.
