2017 Yellowfin 36

Step aboard and you’ll notice this 36 has the “serious fisherman who still likes to cruise” feel nailed. The stand-through upper station gives you a commanding vantage point, but the helm down below is laid out so cleanly you can run the boat all day without fatigue. The SeaDek softens every step, and the wide, uncluttered cockpit leaves plenty of room for anglers to work without tangling. That big coffin box forward doubles as a sun lounge when the crew wants a break between runs. The polycarbonate enclosure keeps you dry on fast runs, while the tow eye and Ameratrail trailer open up options for towing and easy weekend road trips to new fishing grounds.

The 36 Yellowfin shines in this region’s mix of short-hop reefs one day and long offshore runs the next. Its proven stepped hull eats up choppy afternoons while staying efficient at fast cruise, giving you the range to chase bluewater edges or work scattered nearshore structure. The generous beam and deep cockpit are ideal when the bite turns chaotic and multiple anglers are working lines. At the same time, the open bow and coffin box layout make sandbar days and family cruises simple and comfortable. For an owner who wants one center console to handle everything this area throws at it, the 36 is right in the sweet spot.
