Offshore Fishing Yacht Build: The Lindell 48' Begins | Long-Range and Fast Fishing Yacht

It all started with a question: Could we design a Lindell that would run 1,000 miles on
one tank of fuel?
Just imagine the crossings that would allow. Vancouver Island to Seward, Alaska. San
Diego to Cabo San Lucas. The Bahamas to the Panama Canal. From there? You could
hit the Galapagos without stopping.
More length and beam are necessary to carry that fuel. Our crew had long since
harnessed the efficiency of Volvo Penta and Mercury Verado, and the vacuum-infusing
process that makes our boats a fraction the weight of traditional resin-laid hulls. The gas
or diesel capacity had to be substantial but not unreasonable.
A common inclination would be to stretch such a boat into the 55-foot-plus range, but
not for our team. We needed to continue striking our signature balance of inshore
maneuverability-striped bass, lingcod, salmon-with that offshore, big water
stature-bluefin, halibut, swordfish. It’s still a Lindell, after all.
Of course, you’d also need enough room to live comfortably for all those days at sea. Redesigned fore and aft berths will accommodate more crew and more gear, and a repositioned and expanded galley feel just like your house "kitchen".
That’s not to suggest you’d spend all your time in the pilothouse. Custom configurations for livewells, fish holds, ice chippers, fillet tables, vacuum sealers, grills, and freezers are well underway. Water makers and Seakeeper stabilizers come standard to provide comfort and cleanliness. Perhaps most exciting, we’ve built plans for a flying bridge version of this vessel. In warmer climates, there could be no finer way to feel the breeze, spot the birds, or command the action on deck.
This boat has been the collective dream of our team and our customers. Now we’re
building it. Hull No. 1 is laid and further coming to life with each passing day.
What could you do with a 1,000-mile range? That puts Europe in reach, maybe even
Asia. The Caribbean becomes a local lake; the Gulf of Alaska a playground.
This boat will be capable of feats few others are. We already have some wild ones in mind.
