Fishing Platform
Lets start at the stern, a custom swim platform has been installed to accommodate 4 electric deep lines, used for trolling salmon and halibut, custom sea water flush tanks, and a back deck that boasts over 100 square for battling all the fish you can catch.
What are the sea water flush tanks for? In order to provide the absolute best quality of product for our guests, we are able to cut the gills of our salmon and halibut and let them bleed out in our tanks to ensure a table ready product right from the stern of our boat. The saltwater flush tanks also keep our catch cold & fresh all day long!
Salon
Once you step into the main salon to Port there is a large U shaped settee (couch) with a large table and enough seating for 6-8 guests easily. To Starboard is the Captains chair and small sink and Fishing Gear cupboard area.
Galley
Forward of the salon to starboard and down two steps is the galley (full kitchen) equipped with a microwave oven, coffee maker & hot water pot. We do have 110v power available on demand so if you need to charge a cell phone or plug in your laptop, the Fancy Free has you covered.
Two Full Statrooms
A full day of Salmon and Halibut fishing can be a strenuous experience, so if you would like to take a nap, we have two full staterooms both with queen size berths. One is located to port across from the galley, the other all the way forward.
Two Heads Are Better Than One
Unlike fishing on a smaller vessel, two marine heads (washrooms) with a hot water on demand finish the package.
