Commercial Fishing Vessels for Your Fleet
How Commercial Fishing Boats Are Manufactured at Hike Metal
At Hike Metal, we specialize in quality aluminum vessel design. Here is a brief look at our design process and what makes a great commercial fishing boat:
It Starts with Design
We know that recreational fishing boats are a poor basis for design when making commercial vessels. Fishing trawlers need a lot more deck capacity and passenger capacity; they may need to be on the water for days. They need to not only be able to catch a lot of fish, but also store and preserve them. Your boat may need bins for fish netting. Different types of fishing boats are designed to go on different fishing trips, such as in shallow or inland waters.
Let our expert designers know what fishing method you require for your purpose-built fishing boats. We will make it happen!
We Integrate Your List of Features
At Hike Metal, we know that different types of fishing boats have various needs. The National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (part of the U.S. Department of Commerce) has a list of the 8 most common fishing vessel types on its website, including seiners, trawlers, dredgers, and lift netters. If you are new to fishing vessels, browse that page. Having a client with an idea of what they want makes our job easier!
Everything from production capacity to commercial fishing boat length can vary. If your boat will be on the water for days, that boat will have different requirements from a fishing vessel that only does day trips. If you are interested in freezer trawlers or an aluminum freezer, our engineers can equip you ship with everything you need. We are familiar with a large database of fishing vessels, so we can easily design aluminum fishing vessels that will catch any type of fish.
We Place a Strong Emphasis on Fishing Boat Safety
Above all, we want your boat to be as safe as possible. We factor in things like passenger capacity, typical deck arrangement, and the latest advances in boat design. Our experts will design boats to your specifications, but we will also let you know if anything seems unsafe. We go beyond the minimum safety standards.
For both your safety and the lifespan of your boat, we design our fishing boats with aluminum hulls. It does not rust and will last longer than steel. If you plan on fishing in coastal waters, you want aluminum; according to Sciencing.com, saltwater will make steel rust 5 times faster!
Making plans for safety now will save you a lot of money, and maybe your life, in the long run. It’s not worth buying a cheap boat if you need to fix things later!
