Sea fishing gives you a chance to escape the hassle of the everyday and enjoy open waters and warm weather. When the strike is on, it also allows you to enjoy fantastic fishing with the largest species around, such as tuna, shark, and billfish. However, to fully enjoy the open water, you need a high-quality sea fishing boat from Scout.

ADVANCED FISHING FEATURES

Most sea fishing boats have a few standard fishing features. Rod holders and live wells, for example, are must-haves for any fishing trip. However, an exceptional boat will also have additional features. Marine fighting chairs, cranking outriggers, and wash-down features are just a few of the items that make sea fishing more convenient.

BOAT SIZE

Out on the sea, size can make a difference in ride quality and safety. While size is certainly not the only factor in a comfortable ride, it certainly makes a difference. If you are fishing out on the open waters, you’ll generally prefer a boat that is at least 30 feet in length.

COMFORTABLE AMENITIES

Finally, you should make sure your sea boat is comfortable and relaxing. You’ll be out on the water for hours and in some cases days at a time. Your sea fishing boat should have everything needed for relaxation and luxury. A spacious cabin, plush seating, and all the modern amenities will make your boat more enjoyable for long sea fishing trips.

Do you live near a bay that offers excellent fishing? Are you thinking about buying a bay boat but don’t know where to start? Lucky for you, Scout Boats has some of the finest crafts for boating and fishing in bays. Combining engineering precision and luxury features, these are some of the best bay boats available. Scout watercrafts make cruising your favorite bay a remarkable experience.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A BAY BOAT?

The first step in finding the right boat for your needs is knowing what features make a great bay boat. Bay boats are generally smaller in profile than other boats, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have a smooth, easy ride. Bays often have heavy chop generated by wind and heavy boat traffic, so you’ll want a vessel that allows you to ride in comfort. While you may stick to the bays and never venture into the open ocean, you still need a sleek and intelligently-designed hull for a smooth, comfortable ride.

You should also have plenty of fishing features in your bay boat. Despite the trim dimensions of the boat, you still need all the various accommodations that make fishing convenient and enjoyable. For example, you should have plenty of rod storage, at least one live well, and space for casting at the front and the back of the boat. Because many bay boats are compact, having vertical rod storage also provides the space efficiency you need.

In addition to these features, you also need comfortable seating, cutting-edge technology, and a strong, reliable engine to propel you safely across the water.

BEST BAY BOATS FROM SCOUT

Now that you know what goes into a great bay boat, here are some of the best from Scout.

251 XS

This is one of the best bay boats you can find. We consider this a “hybrid” model because it can handle both inshore and offshore waters. This dual ability translates to near perfection in bays. The 251 XS has a 13-inch draft, allowing you to float through shallow waters, yet the hull is designed to cruise through chop with ease.

In addition, you’ll find plenty of features that create a wonderful fishing experience, such as lockable rod storage, trim tabs, a high-performance leaning post, and more. You can also enhance the visual appeal of the boat by adding Brisa cushions or custom color options.

231 XS

Slightly smaller than the 251 model, the 231 XS is a nimble bay boat that can deliver elite fishing performance in many different conditions and locations. It rides on a hull that is sleek and sharp, allowing it to stay stable despite a 12-inch draft.

Standard features on this boat include bow storage, a lighted aerated release well, vertical console rod storage, and a trolling motor plug with three battery trays. If you want to upgrade the fishing experience, you can add a leaning post bait well, flush-mount rod holders, or a power pole bracket mount. Altogether, these features create one of the most enjoyable boating and fishing experiences available.

These features combine to make the 420 LXF the most stunning boat you’ve ever experienced.

DON’T FORGET THE FISHING

While the 420 LXF is a leader in the luxury-boat industry, Scout’s heritage is in fishing. We make sure this DNA is crafted into every boat we offer. With the 420 LXF, you’ll have plenty of rod storage throughout the entire craft, as well as an aerated transom livewell and a retractable cockpit water hose.
