Your local contender boats dealer

Founded in 1984, Contender Boats has built a legacy as one of America’s most respected names in high-performance offshore sportfishing vessels. What began with a vision to produce tournament-ready center consoles has grown into a renowned brand known for its custom-rigged, semi-custom boats that deliver unmatched speed, ride quality, and fishability. Designed and built in Homestead, Florida, every Contender is crafted by hand using vacuum-infusion lamination and a meticulous attention to detail — ensuring that each hull performs flawlessly, even in the toughest bluewater conditions. From bay boats to their flagship 44-foot offshore machines, Contender has remained privately owned and performance-driven, empowering serious anglers and captains with the tools to go faster, run farther, and fish harder. With a commitment to innovation and a culture rooted in competition, Contender continues to set the standard in center console excellence.
