Outfitting a Boat with Sportfish Outfitters

Outfitting new sportfish or center console boats for our customers is one of our specialties. The word outfitting can have different meanings from charters to just apparel to gear, tackle, and supplies.  In this case its parts, supplies, and gear for your boat. We supply everything on the boat other than fishing tackle. Everyday, we sell dock lines and fenders, maintenance supplies, parts, safety equipment and everything in between. But we’ll get to that later....

Buying a new boat is expensive. The last thing anyone wants to do is spend more money when it’s time to take delivery. Having the right equipment is important and in the long run will save you money if you plan ahead and purchase everything in an organized way. So here’s how this usually goes... The captain or owner makes this huge ever growing list and tries to remember everything they need. They usually go to several marine stores and spend a bunch of money, sometimes on the wrong products because that’s all that’s in stock. They forget things or they have to go to multiple places to find what they need. Or they want some specialty items and or custom products that they may or may not know where to get. Oh yeah and then there’s spare parts, pumps and filters that you need to figure out.

We have outfitted so many boats of all sizes so it’s something we are good at and enjoy doing for people. Some folks think we charge extra for the service but it’s just part of what we do for our customers as a service. What may be stressful for a lot of people is easy for us. We have all the bases covered along with pre made estimates already set up for you. We specialize in sportfish and center console products so we offer what’s best for you, not for a sailboat or trawler. It’s more like a free consultation than a shopping experience. 

Why outfitting your boat with us is a great experience:

We have a plan - We can point you in the right direction depending on boat size for the correct fenders, dock lines and accessories. Choose colors and find things that make your boat unique. We can also help guide you with trending maintenance products that the pros are using to keep your boat in show condition. We also want you to be safe out there so we will guide you on the best safety options for the type of boating and fishing that you do.

We make the process not so overwhelming - Crews and owners stress about buying everything for the boat. It’s not the fun part. Everyone just wants to use the boat and go fishing. It’s a big job and we like to think we make it pretty easy. We break it down into categories to make things easier to digest. After a consultation you’ll get an estimate for each category that can be fine tuned to your needs. 

• Docking, Fenders, Anchoring
• Exterior Maintenance 
• Safety Equipment
• Accessories 
• Systems Maintenance and Spares 

We spread out the cost - If you plan ahead and have all of the products in an estimate with us ready to go, you can spread out the cost of all of this. For example, if you’re building a boat that may take months we can place order for a different category each month. Safety equipment being last because some of the products expire. 

Photo journal - In addition to free consultation we can come out and take photos of every product and part on your boat to build your own spare parts album on our shop computer. If you ever need something, we gotcha covered with every detail from bilge pumps to light fixtures and latches.
