Many fishermen — particularly those with children in the 8-to-15-year-old range — find that family truly takes over their on-water focus. This is why family-friendly boats are in high demand.
Kids and spouses love water, love fishing, love cruising, and love water sports. For them, a truly versatile family-first boat fits the bill.
This is why many boatbuilders now consider families when designing even the most dedicated fishing vessels, installing convenient cupholders, grab rails, and even cushioned seating.
Family-friendly models prove perfect for folks whose sport fishing still dominates their boat use, folks who occasionally entertain onboard or take their kids to a sandbar.
