Built in 2002, this 61’ custom Sportfisher is designed for both performance and comfort. Powered by twin 1,000hp MAN engines, it achieves a top speed of 38 knots and cruises comfortably at 32 knots, making it perfect for both quick runs and extended offshore trips. With an 18’ beam and 5’ draft, the vessel offers exceptional stability and handling, with a 1,300-gallon fuel capacity for long-range fishing excursions.

Inside, the vessel features two staterooms, two heads, and over/under bunks in the hallway, providing ample sleeping accommodations. A rod locker offers convenient gear storage, while the interior is finished in rich cherry wood with granite countertops, combining style and durability.

Hull #1 is a high-performance Sportfisher that offers the perfect balance of speed, comfort, and practicality for the serious angler.
