X-Fisher, the amphibious boat for sea fishing

The Normandy-based builder Iguana Yachts has specialised in the construction of amphibious boats by launching a first model equipped with tracks. In 2018, a semi-rigid was added to the range and the shipyard is now launching a fishing model.

In response to the development of sea fishing, Iguana Yachts is launching the X-Fisher, a 30-foot open hull designed for recreational fishing and accommodating up to 12 people.

The X-Fisher offers numerous rod holders distributed in the cockpit, but also on the roof of the closed T-Top with windshield (optional) to navigate well protected from the elements. The bulwarks provide storage for rods. The large cockpit houses a central kitchenette with all the equipment dedicated to fishing: salt water shower, livewell, cooler compartment with macerator for freshly caught fish.

At the stern, the bench seat folds down for unobtrusive fishing and will be used to comfortably seat guests on board while sailing. Raised platforms on each side increase visibility while fishing.

Like all Iguana models, the X-Fisher is equipped with retractable tracks so that it can be driven at a speed of 7 km/h on any terrain: sand, mud, rock, 40% inclined slopes. A rear ladder allows easy boarding and disembarking on land. The X-Fisher can receive up to 2x300 HP and can reach speeds of up to 48 knots.
