The Sailfish VDS Variable Degree Stepped Hull © Sailfish Boats

Our exclusive VDS Hull Design proves that three hulls are always better than one, delivering a soft, safe ride every time.

This unique design features three distinct running surfaces: The first with a deep deadrise that cuts through the water, and two others that provide lift and stability:

  • The 24 degrees surface slices cleanly through the water.
  • The 23 degrees surface creates lift and improves fuel economy.
  • The 22 degrees surface provides comfort and stability.

With Sailfish, enjoy triple the performance benefits of a traditional V-hull and count on quality that lasts. Just like a well-built foundation, a Sailfish hull will support generations of happy memories.

Count on Sailfish to get you home safely every time.
