The Vessel: 2012 Contender 25 Tournament

 

The Contender 25 Tournament is widely regarded as one of the finest offshore fishing platforms ever designed. Known for its aggressive deep-V hull and "level deck" layout, this boat provides a smooth, dry ride even when the Atlantic gets choppy. Whether we are chasing stripers in the shallows or running offshore for groundfish, this vessel gets you to the bite quickly, safely, and in style.

​

Performance & Power

• Engines: Twin Yamaha 150HP Four-Stroke Outboards.

• Reliability: The twin-engine setup provides an extra layer of safety and incredible maneuverability.

• Speed: A comfortable 30+ knot cruise means less time traveling and more time with lines in the water.

• Hull Design: 24.5° deadrise for superior wave-piercing performance.

 

Built for the Angler

• 360° Fishability: The unobstructed flush deck allows you to fight a fish from bow to stern without tripping over raised hatches.

• Live Wells: Twin oversized pressurized live wells to keep our bait energetic all day long.

• Storage: Massive insulated in-floor fish boxes to ensure your catch stays ice-cold for the ride home.

• Rod Holders: Equipped with ample "rocket launcher" and gunwale rod holders for versatile spreads.

 

Guest Comfort & Safety

• T-Top: Provides essential shade from the midday sun.

• Electronics: Outfitted with the latest high-definition GPS, Chirp Sonar, and Radar for precision fish-finding and navigation.

• Safety Gear: Fully stocked with USCG-approved life jackets, flares, first aid, and emergency communication systems.

• Dry Ride: Contender’s classic hull flare keeps the spray out of the boat, keeping you dry even in a head sea.

 

Captain’s Note: The 25 Tournament punches way above its weight class. It feels like a much larger boat on the water, giving you the agility of a center console with the stability of an offshore contender.
