Built for Unmatched Ocean Adventures
The Contender Boats 44 Fish Around (44FA) is built to handle the demands of serious offshore fishing and exploration. Its rugged construction and spacious design are perfect for navigating blue waters, whether you’re in pursuit of billfish while kite fishing in Florida or embarking on long tuna runs in the Atlantic Canyons. With an overall length of 43 feet and 10 inches and a weight of 22,500 pounds ready to fish, this boat promises superior speed and range. The 44FA is equipped to go beyond the bay and into open oceans where the current rips and sea floors fall, ensuring you reach your destination efficiently, with a fuel capacity of 575 gallons allowing for extended trips.
Luxurious and Practical Design
The design of the 44FA is geared towards both luxury and practicality, ensuring it meets the needs of those embarking on longer voyages. With a 12-foot beam, it offers a stable platform ideal for fishing and leisure. The practical layout includes a berth with a queen-sized bed, making it perfect for resting during long trips. There’s an enclosed head with a shower, offering privacy and comfort. The galley is fitted with essential appliances like a sink, refrigerator/freezer, and a stovetop, ensuring you have everything necessary for cooking during your journey. This comprehensive setup makes time offshore enjoyable, whether you’re cruising through canyons or exploring remote islands.
Advanced Engineering and Reliability
Each Contender 44FA is built to order and hand-laid in the USA, noted for its attention to detail. This craftsmanship is evident in its robust engineering, crucial for tackling challenging weather conditions and rough seas. The boat is powered by twin Yamaha XTO offshore outboards, delivering a total of 2,000 HP, which are known for their reliability and power. This setup is essential for those trips far from home, providing peace of mind that the vessel can handle unforeseen conditions. The 27-inch draft and 22.7-degree deadrise at the transom allow it to transition seamlessly through various sea states, ensuring a smooth and efficient ride.
Customizable to Your Lifestyle
The 44FA offers immense customization options, allowing the buyer to create a boat that fits their unique style and specific needs. From the choice of hull and deck gel coat colors to custom hand-painted boot and pin stripe with your choice of colors, each boat reflects its owner’s personal taste. Besides aesthetic choices, functional features such as international lighting, dual hydraulic steering with power assist pump, Livorsi high-performance trim tabs, and waterproof switches with indicator lights enhance operational ease and safety. This customization ensures that your vessel isn’t just ready for the sea but also perfectly suited for your particular lifestyle and preferences.

Heavy-duty components like the 2000 GPH auto/manual bilge pump ensure the boat’s reliability in harsh conditions.
