Fishing is both a recreation and a hobby. And, like any hobby, it requires investment. Sometimes significant, especially when it comes to fishing from the water. Here, in addition to standard gear, you will also need a boat, and a number of factors should be considered to select the ideal option:
load capacity;
capacity;
total weight;
power reserve.
It should also be understood that sea and river boats are very different. There are universal models, but they are limited only to near coastal waters. Special attention deserves such a parameter as the maximum engine power. It cannot be exceeded. Immediately decide which motor you will put.
And finally, the material. Our rating includes aluminum and plastic boats. Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages. Cabin boats were placed in a separate category. Of course, it will not be possible to fully accommodate in such a cabin, but it is quite possible to hide from the rain or take a nap.On the one hand, this adds convenience to the boat, but on the other hand, it seriously hides the place for placing fishing gear. Even three people in such a boat will feel cramped, of course, if we are not talking about a full-fledged pleasure craft that has huge dimensions, but we did not include such models in our rating.
The best aluminum boats for fishing
Aluminum boats are considered the most preferred for fishing. They are lightweight and durable at the same time. It is very difficult to damage such a boat, of course, if you do not run into a rocky shore or a snag. In most cases, they are only called aluminum. In fact, boats are made from a special alloy with magnesium, which significantly increases the strength of the structure. In addition, this metal is not afraid of sea salt if you plan to go on sea fishing.

Victory 470 is a Russian boat that has made water recreation even more comfortable. All thanks to the successful layout of transoms and seats. The passenger capacity of five people here is not just an empty figure, but a reality, and everyone will feel as comfortable as possible. And this despite the rather modest dimensions by the standards of river boats. The interior trim deserves special attention. Fishing can be fun too. All seats are upholstered in soft waterproof fabric. Under them are roomy transoms. But the main feature of the boat users call maneuverability.

The best plastic boats for fishing
Plastic boats are not strong, but they are inferior to aluminum in strength. Their main advantage is light weight. With the same characteristics and dimensions, a boat made of plastic will weigh almost half as much. Professionals separate ordinary plastic, carbon fiber and fiberglass. These are different materials, but with the same basis. Therefore, in our rating, we did not divide them into separate categories. Another advantage of such a boat is the price. Again, compared to aluminum. In general, if you do not plan to plow dangerous water areas or run into rocky shores, this option will be an excellent solution that can transport you, your friends, as well as all the necessary belongings.

According to the documents, the capacity is 7 people, but the carrying capacity is only 600 kilograms. And there is. There are 7 seats on board, but, in fact, the boat is designed for a maximum of five people. It is this company that will be able to accommodate here more or less comfortably.

Many fishing enthusiasts have the impression that a plastic boat is a very expensive pleasure. We hasten to please you. There are quite affordable models, like the Legant 350 from a popular Russian brand. There is nothing extraordinary here. An ordinary boat with mediocre technical characteristics. You can not put a motor with a power of more than 30 forces here. There are few transoms for storing things, and five-person passenger capacity is a slightly overestimated parameter. But if fishing is privacy for you and you are used to going out on the water in two or three, then this option will be an excellent, inexpensive solution. By the way, if you take a model without the “console” attribute, you can save another 30 thousand.
- Great price
- small capacity
- Little transoms
- No "frills"
