Research 2020 - Contender Boats - 44FA

~Fish Around Comfort with Speed and Fishability

The 44 FA is built from the same hull mold as the game changing 44ST. With a fish around liner, the boat offers a berth with queen-sized bed, enclosed head with shower, galley with sink, refrigerator/freezer, and stovetop that are a luxury for traveling offshore or to the islands.

With 12 feet of beam, this boat is built to handle the big blue water, and log some miles in pursuit of personal best billfish.

44 feet of full tilt, wave cutting, chest pounding, bad boy boat to get you to where you want to go before everyone else gets there.

From kite fishing for sailfish in south Florida, to the long tuna runs in the Atlantic Canyons…

…with a Contender, You're Always in the Game.
