Saltwater vs Freshwater Fishing Boats

Built to withstand harsh conditions at sea and saltwater, saltwater fishing boats are generally designed with greater durability, strength and stability when compared to freshwater fishing boats, although they vary in size and hull shape. As the name implies, freshwater fishing boats are designed specifically for fishing in fresh water and include popular classes such as aluminium fishing boats, jon boats and bass boats. These freshwater boats tend to be lighter weight, have less freeboard (i.e. shorter height), a slim profile and shallower drafts. Fishing boats have built-in features such as livewells, rod holders, casting platforms and trolling motors. Many have a variety of accessories and options that allow you to use them for a wide range of family-orientated activities, water skiing, tubing, and swimming. If you want a boat appropriate for numerous different activities, be careful not to choose one that’s too focused on a specific species or style of fishing that you can’t use for others.
