fishing boats

Vessels for catching

Fishing boats are watercraft designed or used to catch fish commercially or recreationally.

They range from small open vessels for coastal waters to large oceangoing trawlers equipped with nets, processing facilities, and refrigeration.

The fishing boats headed out before dawn.

The term covers dinghies with a rod holder as readily as industrial factory ships.
