Ocean Yachts 37 Billfish - Express Fisherman Boat

2009 Ocean Yachts 37 Billfish Description

Fishermen want a boat with stamina and power to hunt far offshore, with performance to match the movements of elusive fish and design features to hook and fight them. They may look back to the 1960’s as their sport’s Golden Age, when high-utility day-fishermen worked the canyons for marlin and tuna, or even the bays for stripers and blues. For all who dream of owning one of those vintage boats, we dedicate the 37 Billfish – the premiere model in an entirely new class of Ocean sportfishermen. To have simply replicated a classic gamefishing design would have denied owners of the extraordinary engineering and manufacturing innovations Ocean has – during the last 30 years – helped to advance. The 37 Billfish exploits the sophisticated hull geometries now standard on every Ocean Yacht. Twin 480 MHP Yanmar 6LY3-ETP diesels produce a wide-open throttle speed of 35 knots and a cruise speed of over 30 knots. Like other Ocean Yachts, the 37 BF has a flybridge – laid out for efficient command and convenient maneuvering. But she also incorporates a fully instrumented lower helm for the hands-on captain who wants quick access to the cockpit. She is an “all-weather” boat and – with propeller pockets that reduce draft to just 2' 6" – she's an “all-waters” boat, too. The 37 Billfish has been designed with a “quick-to-the-rod” dynamic and a bridgeboat’s high visibility and comfort. From stem to stern, she is a boat destined to win tournaments and the respect of sportfishermen. From the satin-cherry interior to the private stateroom and head, she is a boat that indulges an angler’s desire for comfort and luxury. The 37 Billfish by Ocean is the first model in an entirely new boat line whose heritage includes many of the most competitive sportfishermen built during the last 30 years. It is a boat worthy to be called by the sport’s most coveted prize … billfish!
