Sea Hunt is the #1 selling saltwater fishing boat brand in the industry, and has been for 16 years! Sea Hunt® boats are center console saltwater fishing boats well known for their user-friendly design and high quality. We here at New Jersey Outboards sell a number of Sea Hunt® boats at affordable prices. If you’re interested in purchasing a Sea Hunt® boat, feel free to stop by our dealership in Bayville, New Jersey! However, for those of you still on the fence, we’ve written this article outlining the many benefits of owning a Sea Hunt® boat.

History

Sea Hunt began in 1995 as a father and son duo. Vic and Bubba Roof had a passion for fishing, quality craftsmanship, and affordability. To this day Sea Hunt boats are some of the best on the market while retaining their modest price tag. While his father Vic has retired, Bubba still arrives at 5:30 A.M. to personally inspect each boat that leaves the facility. 

Quality 

While every boat owner will have to perform regular maintenance on their vessels, Sea Hunt boats are built to be as sturdy and long-lasting as possible. To achieve this, models are made out of a mix of fiberglass and composite materials. The fiberglass ensures minimal maintenance and easy cleaning while the composite materials reinforce the ship's durability. Both materials contribute to the boat’s light weight and easy repairs. 

Credentials

Sea Hunt boats are built by skilled craftsmen and are carefully inspected before they leave the facility. This not only includes the boat itself but any included hardware or machinery. All Sea Hunt boats must pass ABYC (The American Boat and Yacht Council) and ISO (International Organization for Standard) standards. Additionally, Sea Hunt boats are unique in that they also obtain an NMMA (National Marine Manufacturers Association) certification that states the boat is durable, safe, and of the best quality for their price point. 

Range

Sea Hunt inventory is made up entirely of fishing boats. While this may seem modest, in actuality a fishing boat can range in size anywhere from 20 to 50 feet! How large your fishing boat is will depend on the model you buy and your personal preferences. Most Sea Hunt fishing boats are all-purpose, allowing you access to almost any fishing location in open waters! With this in mind, it’s important to think about what size boat you need, depending on your preferred fishing location and expected boat occupancy. New Jersey Outboards is the 5th largest Sea Hunt dealer in the country. If you’re located in the Philadelphia, NJ, area, feel free to stop by and speak with one of our experienced staff members about your boat needs.

User Friendly

Most Sea Hunt® boats are also center console boats. This is largely because center console boats are some of the best for fishing while providing an extra element of safety. A center console allows you to fish from any side of your boat and is famous for its immense and convenient storage space. However, center consoles also help keep your boat well balanced by allowing passengers to spread out across the deck. Sea Hunt boats are very popular. While the points above are enough to explain the manufacturer's popularity, it also seems that the easy management of a Sea Hunt boat is a contributing factor. The average Sea Hunt boat can seat up to 6-10 people but needs only two to effectively control the boat out on open waters.
