fishing boat

Net-dragging craft

A fishing boat is a watercraft designed or used for catching fish, ranging from small one-person vessels to large commercial trawlers.

The term covers everything from simple rowboats with rod holders to sophisticated ships equipped with nets, sonar, and refrigerated storage.

We rented a fishing boat for the morning.

Fishing boats may be purpose-built or simply any boat pressed into service for angling.
