46 Billfish

The 46 Billfish evokes the classic day boat charter designs of 1960s era South Florida builders. The layout will appeal to anglers who appreciate the advantages of an open deck plan with no aft cabin bulkhead. Instead of a salon, the Billfish offers a weather-protected deckhouse with lounge seating for the whole crew—the kind of easy-access layout that keeps everyone outside and close to the action. Both port and starboard seating areas have rod stowage under and the entire command deck can be enclosed and climate controlled. Above, the tournament flybridge is designed with a center console walkaround helm and Palm Beach-style controls. Below, the galley is positioned at the foot of the companionway steps where it’s easily accessed from the cockpit and bridge deck areas. A large head is opposite to port, and forward of that are adult-size over/under berths. The private bow stateroom has an island double berth and large hanging locker. In the cockpit, mezzanine-style seats flank the centerline walkthrough. Optional 800hp MAN diesels cruise the 46 Billfish at 32–34 knots (high 30s top)—impressive numbers for relatively small engines.
