ABOUT THE BOAT

MV BILLFISH has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment in July 2002. She is fitted with twin 3208 Cat engines and cruises on 20 knots with a top speed of 25knots. She is of fibreglass construction and weighs in at 19tons. Her deck is very beamy giving anglers ample room.

On extended charters she sleeps 4 anglers comfortably. The layout consists of One double bed in the forward private cabin, two single bunks in the centre, opposite a very roomy bathroom fitted with a full size shower, vanity and toilet. Two more single bunks in the saloon area. The crew sleep upstairs in the flydeck area.


For our guest entertainment CD, DVD, VCR, TV and Surround Sound will set the mood with the comfort of air-conditioning throughout. Ample refrigeration and freezer space are a plus and she is fitted with a water desalinator to ensure we have ample fresh water at all times. The galley is fully equiped with refrigerator, microwave oven, and gas stovetop. Billfish is not lacking in the electronics department. With state of the art Sounder/Plotter, GPS, Radar and VHF/UHF radio, we are sure to find the fishing hot spots for our anglers.
