The best sport-fishing yachts combine rugged, blue-water construction with performance, range, agile handling, and the comforts of luxury-yacht living. On the outside, sportfish yachts are notable for their dance-floor size cockpits for fish fighting; livewells to keep baits fresh; in-deck fish boxes to keep the catch stowed and cold; and an armada of rod holders for drift fishing, kite fishing or trolling. They also are known for big diesel horsepower and speed, sometimes north of 40-plus knots. Sportfish yachts are also known for luxurious interiors with supple leathers, granite countertops, high-end galley appliances and en suite staterooms. These are highly self-sufficient angling platforms geared for life beyond the horizon where the water is deep and the fish are big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-top-sport-fishing-yachts\">Top Luxury Fishing Boats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The following 13 sportfish yachts are all vessels we\u2019ve reviewed.

The Hatteras GT65 also represent a design evolution for the series with a \u201cstepped-back flybridge\u201d an element found on in earlier Hatteras models, as well as a new window treatment and hull-side vents.

Yes. That\u2019s exactly what the six-deck, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/story\/yachts\/royal-huisman-project-406-biggest-sport-fisher\/\">Royal Huisman\u2019s Project 406<\/a> is. The interior and exterior design of Project 406 is from noted Dutch yacht-design firm <a href=\"https:\/\/vripack.com\/portfolio\/yacht-design\/project-406-sport-fish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vripack<\/a>. Vripack calls the vessel a \u201csportfisher on steroids.\u201d The hull and superstructure of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/story\/yachts\/supersize-sport-fishers\/\">supersize sportfish<\/a> is Alustar aluminum, a material known for its strength and relatively light weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with six decks, Vripack has managed to create sleek lines for Project 406. It starts with a high freeboard forward that seemingly dares the ocean to approach. Transitioning from the bow, the sheerline slopes downwards in a steady cadence. The flowing sheerline resolves seamlessly at the cockpit. The vessel\u2019s raked house and stacked deck are juxtaposed against the long profile, creating a sinewy aesthetic, which is no simple feat in this 171-footer. Add in all of the expected angling accouterments and 30-knot speed, and you have a sportfish yacht ready to chase fish around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"hydra-container\">\n\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/RoyaHuisman406-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Royal Huisman Project 406\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/RoyaHuisman406-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/RoyaHuisman406-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/RoyaHuisman406-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/RoyaHuisman406-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/RoyaHuisman406.jpg 1200w\" \/>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n            <figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Royal Huisman Project 406<\/span>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Vripack<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t            <\/figcaption>\n        <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-3 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" id=\"Royal406Details\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalhuisman.com\/the-stage-is-set\/\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#7d7046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Manufacturer Details<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" id=\"Royal406Review\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/story\/yachts\/royal-huisman-project-406-biggest-sport-fisher\/\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#7d7046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Our Review<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quick-specifications-2\">Quick Specifications<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Length Overall:<\/strong><\/td><td>171\u2019<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Hull &amp; Superstructure:<\/strong><\/td><td>Aluminum<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Design &amp; Architecture:<\/strong><\/td><td>Vripack Yacht Design<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>No. of Decks:<\/strong><\/td><td>6<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rybovich-94\">Rybovich 94<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Size, speed and agility is a unique trifecta in a sportfish boat, but the 94-foot, 41-knot<em> III<\/em> <em>Amigos<\/em> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/pure-genius-rybovich-family\/\">Michael Rybovich<\/a> checks all those boxes as well as a few more too.

During our sea trial, the GT45X showcased remarkable handling, gracefully leaning into turns without any loss of power from the props.&nbsp;Hatteras has equipped the GT45X with a&nbsp;custom-engineered, sound-deadening system. This feature reduces noise and&nbsp;vibration, ensuring a relatively quiet ride for all aboard. Inside, the yacht has&nbsp;a luxe sensibility with its wood sole, sumptuous leather seating, a fully equipped&nbsp;galley and a spacious forward stateroom.&nbsp;On deck, there are two comfortable&nbsp;helm seats, an undercounter fridge, an ice maker, an inviting L-shaped settee&nbsp;and a table, creating the perfect entertainment area for relaxing after a&nbsp;successful day of fishing. The integrated hardtop enhances visibility with its one-piece windshield and large side windows, offering optimal views of the&nbsp;surrounding waters. To adapt to changing weather conditions, simply install&nbsp;clear curtains across the bridge deck aft, transforming the GT45X into an&nbsp;all-season sport-fisherman. Personalization is key with Hatteras Yachts, and the GT45X offers a variety of optional features. From a bow thruster and additional stateroom to teak accents and a flybridge option, you can customize your yacht to meet your specific needs. With a simple ala carte ordering process, just select your must-have options, start the engines and have your next angling adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"hydra-container\">\n\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HatterasGT45X-1024x638.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Hatteras Yachts GT45X\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HatterasGT45X-1024x638.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HatterasGT45X-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HatterasGT45X-768x479.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HatterasGT45X-50x31.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/HatterasGT45X.jpg 1444w\" \/>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n            <figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Hatteras Yachts GT45X<\/span>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Hatteras Yachts<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t            <\/figcaption>\n        <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-7 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" id=\"hatterasGT45XDetails\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hatterasyachts.com\/models\/sportfish\/gt45x\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#7d7046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Manufacturer Details<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" id=\"hatterasGT45XYouTube\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=n1JoeDVmMRU\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#7d7046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Watch the Video<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quick-specifications-6\">Quick Specifications<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Length Overall:<\/strong><\/td><td>47\u20197\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Maximum Beam:<\/strong><\/td><td>16\u20196\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fuel Capacity:<\/strong><\/td><td>800 Gal.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Freshwater Capacity:<\/strong><\/td><td>100 Gal.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Draft:<\/strong><\/td><td>4\u2019<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Displacement:<\/strong><\/td><td>49,700 lb.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"huckins-45\">Huckins 45 Sportfisherman<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/true-believers-huckins-45-sportfisherman\/\">Huckins 45 Sportfisherman<\/a> starts with the Florida boatbuilder\u2019s patented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huckinsyacht.com\/new-construction\/quadraconic-hull\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quadraconic hull<\/a>. The Huckins\u2019 Quadraconic name derives from four conical projections that make up the bottom surface shape. The sport-fisher has a deep forefoot and some measurable flare above the waterline for good buoyancy and dry running. A single chine rises from the waterline and then descends quickly to optimize spray control. The deep-V shape forward warps to a flat running surface far aft for efficient planing and excellent roll resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Power is twin 480 hp Cummins diesels, which give this sportfish boat an easy 28-knot cruise. Top speed is 35 knots, so a 30-knot cruise is easily an option. The owner of the 45 Sportfisherman we got aboard is an avid stand-up angler and set up his boat with three flush-deck insulated fish boxes with macerators, a Dometic ice maker, two 28-foot Rupp outriggers, six gunwale rod holders, saltwater and freshwater washdowns, and a four-rod rocket launcher in lieu of a fighting chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"hydra-container\">\n\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Huckins45-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Huckins 45 Sportfisherman\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Huckins45-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Huckins45-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Huckins45-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Huckins45-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Huckins45.jpg 1200w\" \/>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n            <figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Huckins 45 Sportfisherman<\/span>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Bill Doster<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t            <\/figcaption>\n        <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-8 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" id=\"huckins45Details\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.huckinsyacht.com\/new-construction\/sportfisherman\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#7d7046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Manufacturer Details<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" id=\"huckins45Review\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/true-believers-huckins-45-sportfisherman\/\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#7d7046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Our Review<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" id=\"huckins45YouTube\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OKXO7zBnx-8\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#7d7046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Watch the Video<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quick-specifications-7\">Quick Specifications<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Length Overall:<\/strong><\/td><td>47\u20197\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Maximum Beam:<\/strong><\/td><td>16\u20196\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fuel Capacity:<\/strong><\/td><td>800 Gal.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Freshwater Capacity:<\/strong><\/td><td>100 Gal.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Draft:<\/strong><\/td><td>4\u2019<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Displacement:<\/strong><\/td><td>49,700 lb.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"jarrett-bay-46\">Jarrett Bay 46<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally named Persistence, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/jarrett-bay-46-0\/\">Jarrett Bay 46<\/a> was built for fishing enthusiast and NASCAR driver Jeff Burton. When creating his fully custom sportfish boat, Burton noted that his vessel would be both a fishing boat and a family boat. Fishing features include an in-transom fish box, a sailfish pod, insulated fish boxes and a tuna door (sans bridge) in the cockpit. Jarrett Bay installed three rod holders in each gunwale and six more across the flybridge rail, plenty of rod room for setting up a trolling spread.<br>With upper and lower helm stations (the latter being an owner request), the Jarrett Bay 46 also gives the skipper options if the weather goes south. The Jarrett Bay 46 has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zf.com\/products\/en\/marine\/productfinder\/marine.html?filterValues=product_type:%27pod%20propulsion%27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZF pod drives<\/a> with underwater exhaust paired to twin <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopenn.com\/new-equipment\/power-systems\/high-performance-propulsion-and-maneuvering-solutions\/c9-acert-high-performance-marine-propulsion-engine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">575 hp Caterpillar C9<\/a> diesels. At a comfortable 2,000-rpm cruise, this sport-fisher makes about 26 knots while those diesels consume 41 gallons per hour. Dial it up to a top-end speed of 35 knots and consumption goes up to 58.3 gph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"hydra-container\">\n\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/JarrettBay46-1024x416.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Jarrett Bay 46\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/JarrettBay46-1024x416.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/JarrettBay46-300x122.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/JarrettBay46-768x312.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/JarrettBay46-50x20.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/JarrettBay46.jpg 1200w\" \/>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n            <figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Jarrett Bay 46<\/span>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Jarrett Bay Boatworks<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t            <\/figcaption>\n        <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-9 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" id=\"jarrett46Details\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jarrettbay.com\/carolina-construction\/custom-yachts\/hull-57\/\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#7d7046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Manufacturer Details<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" id=\"jarrett46Review\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/jarrett-bay-46-0\/\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#7d7046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Our Review<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" id=\"jarrett46YouTube\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KRLfcJXEKKU\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#7d7046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Watch the Video<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quick-specifications-8\">Quick Specifications<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Length Overall:<\/strong><\/td><td>45\u20198\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Maximum Beam:<\/strong><\/td><td>15\u20194\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fuel Capacity:<\/strong><\/td><td>620 Gal.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Freshwater Capacity:<\/strong><\/td><td>100 Gal.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Draft:<\/strong><\/td><td>4\u20194\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Displacement:<\/strong><\/td><td>37,000 lb.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viking-92\">Viking Yachts 92<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/introducing-titan\">Viking Yachts 92<\/a> is the largest sport-fisher the New Gretna, New Jersey-based boatbuilder has ever constructed. Offered with an open- or enclosed-bridge setup, the hefty sportfish boat (displacing around 205,000 pounds) hits 37-knots-plus when powered with optional 2,600 hp MTU diesels. At 2,100 rpm, this battlewagon cruises easily at 31 knots at 78 percent engine load. Dial it back to 28 knots, and engine load is a mere 70 percent. The 92-footer is also agile thanks to the Viking Independent Programmable Electrohydraulic Rudder (VIPER) steering system, a fly-by-wire setup that lets the helmsman control each rudder individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From an angling perspective, the 92 has <a href=\"https:\/\/ruppmarine.com\/outrigger\/bigg-rigg-outriggers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">55-foot Rupp outriggers<\/a>, fish stowage large enough for a wolf pack of bigeye tuna, space for a season\u2019s worth of baits, secured gaff stowage and enough tackle drawers to handle all the lures and terminal gear an owner could ever buy. The Viking 92 also has six staterooms to accommodate owners, guests and crew for tournament season and long-haul adventure angling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"hydra-container\">\n\n\t\t\t                <div class=\"hydra-canvas\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Viking92-1024x610.jpg\" class=\"hydra-image\" alt=\"Viking Yachts 92\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Viking92-1024x610.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Viking92-300x179.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Viking92-768x458.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Viking92-50x30.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Viking92.jpg 1200w\" \/>                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n            <figcaption class=\"caption margin_top_xs full border_1 hydra-figcaption\">\n                <span class=\"hydra-image-caption\">Viking Yachts 92<\/span>\n                <span class=\"article_image_credit italic margin_right_xs\">Courtesy Viking Yachts<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t            <\/figcaption>\n        <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-10 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" id=\"viking92Details\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vikingyachts.com\/main\/Models.asp\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#7d7046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Manufacturer Details<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" id=\"viking92Review\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/introducing-titan\/\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#7d7046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Our Review<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" id=\"viking92YouTube\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VPkvU7sluas\" style=\"border-radius:5px;background-color:#7d7046\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Watch the Video<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quick-specifications-9\">Quick Specifications<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Length Overall:<\/strong><\/td><td>93\u20193\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Maximum Beam:<\/strong><\/td><td>24\u20191\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Fuel Capacity:<\/strong><\/td><td>4,015 Gal.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Freshwater Capacity:<\/strong><\/td><td>485 Gal.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Draft:<\/strong><\/td><td>5\u201911\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Staterooms:<\/strong><\/td><td>6<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"merritt-72\">Merritt 72<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like some of the other names on this list, Merritt is an iconic Pompano Beach, Florida-based, custom sportfish builder with a current model lineup that includes 66-, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yachtingmagazine.com\/merritt-72\/\">72-<\/a> and 86-foot convertible designs.

Abaft the helm and to port is U-shaped seating with a walnut table, creating a respite from the sun on tournament day while still allowing the crew to keep an eye on the spread via the open after bulkhead. Across from that seating is an L-shaped settee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a focus on fishing, the 54 Open has 154 square feet of cockpit real estate. Two sets of mezzanine seats offer perches for the crew to watch the spread. Other fishing-friendly features include a transom livewell, an in-deck fish box to starboard (with an optional livewell tub), an insulated in-deck box to port, a deck plate for mounting a rocket launcher or fighting chair, cooler stowage in the mezzanine steps (a bait freezer in the steps is optional), and a tuna door. Power is either twin 1,400 hp or 1,550 hp MAN diesels. For owners who prefer a three-sided fiberglass enclosure to a clear-plastic setup\u2014but still want an open after bulkhead\u2014Viking offers the 54 in the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vikingyachts.com\/main\/54ST.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Sport Tower<\/a> version.
