2017 SeaHunter 35 Tournament

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the 35 Tournament is laid out for serious time on the water, not just quick runs. The wide bow has enough room for a crew to work lines without tripping over each other, and the coffin box-style forward lounger turns into a perfect spot to stretch out between bites. Deep, secure walkways and high gunwales give confidence when it’s snotty offshore. Under the hood, the wiring and rigging are neatly executed and easy to access, which seasoned owners appreciate when it’s time to add gear or troubleshoot. The hull’s aggressive entry and hefty weight let you keep your speed up when the chop stacks, while still landing soft and dry.

In these waters, where runs to the edge, sandbar days, and mixed-weather seasons all collide, the 35 Tournament hits a sweet spot. Its size and beam give you the range and ride to chase pelagics well offshore, yet it’s still manageable around crowded inlets and shallow channels. The efficient stepped hull helps stretch your fuel on longer offshore pushes, while the generous storage and fish boxes make full-day trips practical. When the breeze comes on in the afternoon, the hull’s offshore pedigree shines, keeping the crew comfortable on the ride home. It’s a capable, go-anywhere platform that suits both hardcore anglers and family cruisers in this region.
