A Fisher Boat, often simply called a fishing boat, is a type of watercraft designed and equipped for commercial or recreational fishing activities. These boats come in various sizes and configurations depending on the type of fishing they are intended for and the waters they operate in. Fisher Boats can range from small, single-person craft used for recreational fishing to larger commercial vessels equipped with advanced fishing gear and storage facilities. Commercial Fisher Boats typically include: Trawlers: Equipped with nets (trawls) that are dragged along the seafloor or through the water to catch fish. Longliners: Deploy long lines with hooks to catch fish like tuna and swordfish. Purse seiners: Utilize a large net (purse seine) to encircle fish, which are then drawn together and lifted on board. Lobster boats: Specialized boats used in lobster fishing, typically equipped with traps or pots. Recreational Fisher Boats may include various types of small motorboats, sailboats, or even kayaks used for fishing in lakes, rivers, or coastal waters.
