An excerpt of an article recently written by Cameron J. Rhodes of Marlin Magazine: “Unless you’ve dabbled in crime, you probably don’t spend much time thinking about fingerprints.

It’s impressive to see how much luxury motoryachts have evolved- from the boxier features you see here to the much sleeker futuristic looking models today. While Gamefisherman is constantly perfecting our builds, we take pride in keeping the clean profile, classic ocean-tested…

Billfish are plentiful year-round, but usually it’s easier to find the fish during winter simply because there are more boats fishing. With that being said, fishing pressure is nowhere…
Flashback Friday to Gamefisherman’s 40’ Flybridge “French Look” as the game boat to its mothership in this photo taken in 1994. During the late ’80s and early ’90s, several mothership operations travelled the world’s oceans looking for the next great remote paradise.
