The boat

The Knotty Cowgirl is our light tackle specialist. This 37-foot Contender is fast, nimble, and built for hands-on fishing fun.

What Is Light Tackle Fishing?
Light tackle means smaller rods and lighter line. You feel every bite. Every head shake. Every run. It's more challenging than heavy tackle. And way more exciting.

You fish standing up. No fighting chairs here. Just you, the rod, and the fish. It's pure fishing in its most engaging form.

Speed and Performance
Twin 250HP outboards push this Contender fast. We reach distant fishing spots quickly. When fish move, we can follow them. Speed matters when you're chasing schools of mahi or hunting for cobia.

The center console design keeps the deck open. Everyone has room to fish. There's no bumping into each other. No tangled lines.

Comfort on a Center Console
Most center consoles are bare bones. Not this one. The Knotty Cowgirl has a cabin below deck. There's a restroom onboard. Spacious shaded areas keep you cool.

You get the performance of a center console with the comfort of a larger boat. It's the best of both worlds.

Fishing and Sandbar Combos
Want more than just fishing? We can do that. Catch your fish in the morning. Then we'll anchor at a scenic sandbar.

Swim in crystal-clear water. Have a picnic on the boat. Snorkel the shallows. Or keep fishing from the beach. It's your trip. We make it happen.

What Fish Will You Catch?
Light tackle works great for snapper and grouper. These reef fish are fun fights on lighter gear. Tarpon are the silver kings — they jump and run like nothing else.

Permit are challenging trophies. Mackerel and cobia provide steady action. And when conditions are right, we go offshore for mahi, wahoo, and tuna.

Perfect for Full-Day Adventures
This boat shines on 6-, 8-, and 10-hour trips. You have time to explore. Fish multiple spots. Try different techniques. Maybe hit that sandbar for lunch.

The cabin and restroom make long days comfortable. No rushing back to dock. Just pure enjoyment.

Stand-Up Thrills
There's something special about stand-up fishing. You're connected directly to the fish. Your legs brace against the deck. Your arms absorb the power. It's physical. It's exciting. It's unforgettable.
