The first decision on a used sportfisherman is the layout. A convertible puts the helm on a flybridge with, as Boating's flybridge-versus-express comparison puts it, an unobstructed view to all 32 points of the compass, plus a protected salon below for cruising and entertaining. An express keeps the helm on the main deck a few steps from the cockpit, which suits owners who fish short-handed and want the skipper in the middle of the action, usually with a more casual cabin and a slightly higher top speed.

After layout, compare the fishing hardware. A tuna tower adds the elevated view that Marlin's tower guide describes for spotting fish and working kite baits, but towers are elaborate and expensive to add later, so a boat that already carries one is worth a premium if you need it. Outriggers are cheaper to add: Boating's outrigger guide describes them as aluminum poles from 15 to more than 40 feet that run lines from release clips to widen the trolling spread. Most used sportfishing yachts at HMY Yachts are 40 to 69 feet and built since 2000, Viking, Hatteras, Ocean Yachts, Cabo, and Bertram are the most common builders, and nearly half of the boats are in Florida.

Frequently asked questions

What is a convertible sportfish yacht?
A convertible is a sportfishing yacht with the helm on a flybridge above an enclosed salon, a large open cockpit aft for fishing, and full accommodations below. The flybridge gives the captain an unobstructed view to all 32 points of the compass, and the salon makes the boat a cruiser and entertainer as well as a fishing platform. The alternative is an express, which keeps the helm on the main deck a few steps from the cockpit and trades some interior space for a lower profile and a slightly higher top speed.
Why are sport fishing boats so tall?
The height is functional. A flybridge lifts the helm above the salon so the captain can see the spread, the cockpit, and the water ahead, and many boats add a tuna tower above that for an even higher vantage point. Marlin's tower guide notes that captains use the tower to spot fish in the swells and to watch kite baits, which is why towers are common on boats fished in South Florida. When you compare used boats, treat a well-built tower as a real asset, since adding one later is an elaborate and expensive job.
What are the long poles on sportfishing boats?
They are outriggers. Boating describes them as aluminum poles, usually 15 to more than 40 feet long, that swing out from the sides of the boat and run one or more fishing lines from release clips. Spreading lines away from the hull lets the crew troll more baits without tangles and covers more water behind the boat. On a used listing, note the outrigger brand and length and whether the bases and clips are in good condition, since they are far cheaper to replace than a tower but still add up.
