About Contender Boats

Contender's deep-V hulls were originally designed for tournament sportfishing in the Gulf Stream. The same dry, soft ride translates beautifully to parasailing operations in offshore chop. Their 25–32 ft platforms are increasingly popular with operators who want a single boat that can do parasail tours and high-end charters in the same day.

Highlights

  • Hand-laid solid fiberglass hulls (no balsa coring)
  • Deep-V geometry handles 4-6 ft offshore chop
  • Strong dealer network across Florida and the Gulf Coast
