15.5m Flybridge Walkaround Sport Fishing Boat

A one-off 15.5m flybridge walkaround sport fishing boat with an aluminium hull, a composite cabin and a high-gloss paint finish, designed and built for a private owner.

This boat was a one-off build, and the owner wanted the best of two materials. Below the waterline is a marine-grade aluminium hull, built by our team for strength and easy maintenance. Above it sits a composite walkaround cabin, moulded to a smooth, yacht-like finish. That gave the owner sharper styling and a lighter topside than an all-metal superstructure.

The whole boat was finished to a high-end standard: the hull and cabin were faired and painted in our paint bay to a deep, high-gloss finish that matches a production yacht.

Side decks run the full length of the cabin, so the crew can move safely from bow to stern when fishing or handling lines. A flybridge helm on the hardtop gives a clear view over the water. The open aft cockpit is built around twin Yamaha V8 350 hp outboards, with boarding steps and underwater lighting, and below decks there is a double cabin with an en-suite bathroom and shower.

The hull, the cabin and the fit-out were designed, built and finished in-house at our Umm Al Quwain yard. The boat was delivered in 2018.
