Construction is nearing completion on our largest build to date, our Release 55 Walkaround. Available as a Flybridge Walkaround, Flybridge Dayboat, traditional Walkaround, or an Express, the Release 55 is designed to put her owners on the fish in style and comfort.
"When I first started Release, I always thought you weren't a real boatbuilder until you built a 55-footer," said Jim Turner, Director of Release Boatworks. "To be nearing completion on hull number one, and with three more 55s in the order book already and a few more coming, it's really satisfying to be at this stage with this boat."
In recent years, lots of serious anglers have been foregoing the creature comforts of traditional sportfish boats and instead opting for the 360 degrees of fishability provided by the open layout of a center console. Lucky for you, Release Boatworks is here to make sure you don't have to forego anything.
Not only does a walkaround boat provide hardcore fisherman with 360 degrees of accessibility to the water, but lighter materials and design have provided for optimized fuel economy and speed as well. Also, a beamy Release Boatworks walkaround boasts one thing center consoles don't—space, and plenty of it. Huge cockpits on walkarounds keep anglers from knocking elbows and tripping over each other, and mezzanines designate a space for ride-a-longs to keep out of the way of the action. Livewells, fish boxes, rod storage, tackle drawers, and space for a fighting chair provide a spot for everything, and then some.
When it comes to fishing platforms, the Release Boatworks walkaround is the best of both worlds.
Last week, we had the pleasure of de-molding our largest hull yet, the 55' Release Boatworks, which will initially be built as a Walkaround Flybridge and available as a dayboat (flybridge), traditional walkaround, or an express. We currently have three signed contracts on the 55' and counting. For more information, please email or call 833-FISH-RBW.
