Specifically designed for offshore fishing, sport fishing boats or sportfisher yachts are purpose-built vessels that specialise in speed and comfort in rough seas, with the technical equipment for big game fishing adventures. Defined by their distinctive lines, long foredeck and flybridge tuna towers, their open layout makes them ideal for battling fish such as marlin and tuna, allowing anglers the opportunity to engage in intense battles with these prized game fish. But what caused the rise in sportfisher yachts?<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309285/image/large-9ffae369790b9262a91323cae1662b3c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309285">In the 1900s, anglers were having trouble fighting big fish while standing, they instead needed a place to sit while fishing with their equipment, prompting the need for seating arrangements during fishing excursions. Recognising the importance of enhanced visibility for targeting larger catches, captains began modifying their vessels. From here, boatbuilders and shipyards received requests to convert boats that had previously been used for catching fish on the market, into pleasure boats to catch fish for fun or sport.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311265/image/large-60391af01a8875f85cff2cb1dda7a3e6.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311265">One of the most famous sportfisher yachts of this era is the 38-foot Wheeler boat Pilar, owned by American novelist Ernest Hemingway. In April 1934, Hemingway commissioned Wheeler to build a modified pleasure yacht based on the shipyard’s Playmate model. Built as Wheeler Hull No. 576, she included a built-in fishing livewell for keeping fish alive onboard, engine set-up, and a roller on the transom to aid in hauling large fish onto the boat.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311264/image/large-2f5b39a549024d70c9435de745244ea3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311264">It is believed that Pilar, pictured above with Hemingway onboard, was named after his wife Pauline and was one of the first boats equipped with a flybridge and outriggers. According to her builder, she further cemented her legendary status when she was the first boat to bring a giant tuna to Bimini’s docks, undamaged by sharks. She evolved over the years as Hemingway fished onboard her, allowing him to spend longer periods of time at sea. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311267/image/large-960dc9e9eec7985fc5cc14dd772beaba.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311267">The war effort helped to aid the development of technology and building materials, with the introduction of materials such as fibreglass being used for aircraft. Building on ideas and skills they had gained from World War II, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/243" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rybovich Shipyards (Company)">Rybovich</a> yard, based in Palm Beach County, Florida, developed a boat dedicated to sportfishing. The custom sportfisher, Miss Chevy II, was launched in 1947 and was credited as being one of the breakthrough yachts that influenced the modern sportfisher boat. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311266/image/large-b874438f748b8088823fa74f82f2ae58.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311266">A few years later in 1952, Miss Chevy IV was launched with what would become the signature Rybovich sportfisher look, with a broken sheer, an aluminium tuna-tower, and a transom door. This configuration granted owners extra headroom in the cabin forward, while also reducing the cockpit freeboard to make it easier to haul in large fish.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/275430/image/large-43901b23dde49db5f09e2a44f49625b2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/275430">During this time, other boat builders started to establish themselves as key players in the postwar sportfishing scene. They made the decision to embrace either wood cold-moulding construction techniques, or the emerging fibreglass technology, to develop stronger and lighter boats, a competition that endures in today's market. This combination of factors spurred designers to push the boundaries, resulting in the creation of ever-larger, swifter vessels.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/167093/image/large-1fd68c22f4ae9b2d8f65cf5c616491d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/167093">Amidst the ongoing evolution of sportfishing yacht construction techniques and propulsion systems, the yachts of today stand as testament to the industry's relentless pursuit of excellence. Modern sportfisher yachts have benefitted from advances in design, materials, and engineering to create faster and more fuel-efficient vessels.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/106444/image/large-00c2ef30b99ee201ce039aa8653cdef5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/106444">Sportfisher yachts still remain popular, with the US dominating the market in both sales and construction. According to Pete Frederiksen, former marketing director at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4332" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Viking Yachts (Company)">Viking Yachts</a>, “Fishing in the US is so popular because of the variety, the accessibility and the number of tournaments that pop up all the time.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/183885/image/large-b4e1c341eb744eb2f42e933d3d9bbf84.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/183885">The rise may also be down to the plethora of fish available in US waters. Florida’s east coast is brimming with sailfish, tuna, grouper, kingfish to name a few, with the short journey to the Bahamas and the Caribbean boasting the opportunity to catch bonefish and blue marlins. As well as this, the rise may be down to versatility of sportfisher yachts. Non-angling boaters may choose a sportfisher yacht over other motor yachts, for their ability to handle the chop of waves or rougher waters, as well as their interiors which still remain as luxurious as other motor yachts.Insight: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/48281" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Insight: Why does the US love sportfishers? (2018-03-21 10:45:00 +0100)">Why does the US love sportfishers?</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/172912/image/large-bc3bda5745ae8ff9fd52c15df9c6f7ff.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/172912">Although sportfishers are extremely popular in America, the market in Europe is significantly less. There may be several reasons for this, including stricter licensing requirements and a different style of boating in Europe. According to Roger Sowerbutts, the Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4828" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Horizon Yacht USA (Company)">Horizon Yachts USA</a>, “People [in Europe] aren’t down there raving about sportfishing.” Simply put, the boating style follows a rich heritage of luxury motor yacht design, much the same as the sportfisher presence in the States is propelled by its origination there.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300719/image/large-6e2e5994f9473045f70152974a71e6ea.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300719">In the present day, the average size of sportfishing yachts is around 27-metres and although the essence of these vessels remains largely unchanged, certain boats may exhibit varying degrees of flair and break the mould of previous designs.
