The FV Straight Shooter, currently fishing in the Eastern Tuna and Billfish Fishery, is a serious fishing platform with excellent sea-going capability, the ability to set and haul up-to 3,000 Hooks per day and capacity to handle large volumes of sashimi grade pelagic fish whilst providing a safe and covered work environment for the Skipper and crew. The vessel is available as a turn-key pelagic longline operation with all fishing gear included or with the fishing gear removed ready for Trap Fishing or a range of commercial marine applications.
The vessels carrying capacity is a major feature with 6 x refrigerated brine tanks holding 9,600 L per tank, a 14 Tonne capacity fish room and 6 Tonne capacity bait freezer. The design and lay-out of the Vessel makes for a highly functional operation with easy access to all the plant and equipment and modern spacious facilities for the crew. The Vessel is built for high-volume fishing applications and meets all the requirements for longlining Southern Bluefin Tuna in the Southern Ocean over a 12 month fishing plan.
The Vessel is in AMSA 3B (Extended) survey with a crew of 8 and the next shaft survey is due in July 2029. Vessel's of this capability and calibre are rare to market and we highly recommend this Vessel. For more information and enquiries please contact Christian Pyke on
