A typical offshore fishing charter boat is around 30-40 feet in length with a deep V-hull design for stability in choppy waters. The vessel likely has a spacious open deck area with rod holders, fish cleaning stations, and ample seating for passengers. In the cabin, you'd find navigation equipment like GPS, fish finders, and radar. The boat is powered by twin outboard engines for reliability and speed. On board, there's storage for fishing gear, bait, and ice chests to keep the catch fresh. Safety equipment includes life jackets, flares, and a marine radio. The wheelhouse provides shelter and contains controls for operating the boat. Many charter boats also feature a small galley and restroom facilities for longer trips. With its sturdy construction and specialized equipment, this type of boat is well-suited for taking groups of anglers out to productive fishing grounds several miles offshore.
