Offshore Fishing, Onboard Fun!

From father to son, the tradition of boat building continues at Jupiter Marine. Working together, this nautical family has created the latest innovations in boat building technology.

The all-new Jupiter 34 was designed in conjunction with world-renown naval architects Donald Blount & Associates. The 34 is a completely new design filling the gap between two current popular models – the classic 31 and Jupiter’s 38-foot flagship – and was specifically engineered to accommodate the new fuel efficient Yamaha 350HP V-8 four-stroke outboard engines.

Island Runner introduced the first truly high-performance center-console at The Miami International Boat Show in 1981. From that event on, the company has set the standard for top-quality open-sportfish boats, so if a sleek and stylish platform is what you are seeking, look no further! Island Runner has delivered the perfect package with their all new 35. This boat will undoubtedly become another Island Runner legend with its clean lines, well-thought out deck layout and long list of standard amenities which satisfy even the most discriminating angler.

A Serious Offshore Threat!

Sailfish Boats just released another model to add to their already impeccable line-up, the 2860 CC. With attributes and accessories capable of making even the most hardcore angler drool, Sailfish’s 2860 CC also appeals to family needs with creature comforts including a spacious two person leaning post, enclosed head compartment, ample fore seating, large in-deck storage and oversized windscreen. When Sailfish’s highly qualified design team set out to build the new 2860 CC, nothing was overlooked. With twin 225-quart fish boxes located in the bow, an additional two 145-quart boxes in the floor and a 94-quart cooler front helm seat with cushions, storage was one aspect that was clearly not overlooked.

An Open-Fisherman With Racing Heritage!

With the added comfort of forward seating, Ocean Express’ all new 32 Center Console is clearly the product of a company who knows how to build fast, comfortable boats with all of the amenities you’d expect in a high-end open-fisherman. The marriage of the two results in a hybrid performance/fishing boat that deserves a lot more than a casual glance. A top speed of 70 MPH simply means you’ll spend more time fishing and less time en-route, and the race-proven design that makes it all possible translates into burning substantially less fuel. In fact, at a very respectable 35 MPH cruising speed, the 32 CCFS provides an incredibly smooth ride with an extended range of almost 500 miles when powered by a pair of 300 HP Suzuki 4-stroke outboards with standard 260-gallon fuel supply.

Introducing what many have already described as the most exquisite pocket yacht to date – the 2008 Smith 45CDF.

Would you like to own a house in the Bahamas? How about an island condo? We all would, but at today’s real estate prices, the idea that there is more-bang-for-the-buck in a quality boat is quickly catching on.

Now, of course, not just any boat could substitute for an island home. However, a serious vessel that can negotiate the potentially treacherous Gulf Stream with comfort and safety before slipping through the reef and up onto one of the many breathtaking Bahamas’ beaches, now that would do!

Defiant 270 TC-

Defiant’s latest achievement was conceived for the sole purpose of providing a technologically-advanced, ride-friendly catamaran that could easily transition from an extreme offshore fishing machine, to a speedboat capable of bouncing kids across the bay on the latest inflatable toys, to a casual cruiser able to ferry friends and family on comfortable sunset cruises. Defiant’s design and manufacturing team firmly believed that such a versatile platform should and could exist. It appears that they not only hit the nail on the head, but drove it all the way home with the introduction of the 270 TC.

The result; a full transom fishing machine blending the proven design philosophy of a traditional panga with the precision of a computer aided designed hull. The Tarpon 26 combines the ride and stability of an offshore platform with the shallow draft/running capability of a backcountry flats skiff.

Making dreams an affordable reality!

I was recently invited to preview and sea trial the latest Runaway 32. I must admit, the experience left me quite impressed. I also came to a hard realization. I realized that when most consumers are in the market for a new boat, they look straight towards well established boat manufacturers with popular names, and in doing so, often miss out on the opportunity of owning an exceptional vessel at a substantial savings in cost. The Runaway 32 is one such boat.

This Cat Roars!

Florida’s West Coast continues to rank as one of the top have-to-fish places. Excellent big-game fishing and some of the nation’s best bottom fishing start out at about 70 miles from shore, and continue to get even better the farther out into the Gulf you go. Over recent years, access to these ‘far from home’ prolific fishing grounds has been limited to large sportfishing yachts with enough fuel capacity, water, ice, and accommodations for a full crew to stay out for multiple days. Today, with Jaguar Marine’s 35’ Open-Fish, these same distant areas are now fishable on single day trips.
