Which yachts are best for fishing?

Answer

The best yacht for fishing depends on the type of fishing, destination, number of guests and equipment required.

Important considerations can include tender capability, deck space, storage, freezer capacity, fishing equipment, cruising range and whether the crew has relevant experience.

For specialist fishing, a yacht with an appropriate tender and experienced crew may be more important than simply choosing the largest yacht.

Analysis

Fishing requirements can be very different from those of a conventional leisure charter. The right yacht should therefore be selected around the activity rather than retrofitting the activity onto a yacht chosen for unrelated reasons.
