Roberts 30 LV415 9.14m Line Fishing Vessel

Roberts 30 - 9.14m Commercial Fishing Vessel | Reef Line, Deep Drop, Live Trout & Tender Capability

Looking for a versatile, low-cost commercial fishing vessel that can support multiple operations and generate income from day one? This Roberts 30 (9.14m) delivers a flexible, efficient platform suited to reef line fishing, deep drop, and live coral trout operations--while also offering valuable support capability as a tender vessel.

Built in fibreglass (GRP) and powered by a Cummins BTA 5.9 diesel engine producing 250hp, the vessel offers reliable performance with economical fuel consumption of approximately 9 litres per hour at 1800rpm. It's a practical option for operators focused on maximising uptime while keeping operating costs under control.

The vessel features a clean, open working deck and a simple, functional layout, making it ideal for reef line and deep drop fishing. It is also fitted with tanks and plumbing for live coral trout, allowing operators to target premium live markets and increase overall catch value.

A key advantage is its size. At 9.14 metres, this vessel sits under the 10m threshold, making it highly suitable as a tender to a larger primary vessel. This creates additional operational capacity, whether for expanding fishing effort, supporting multi-boat operations, or providing extra crew accommodation in air-conditioned comfort during extended trips.

Onboard systems include GPS, sounder, autopilot, and VHF radio for navigation and fish finding, along with accommodation for three, refrigeration, solar support, and genset power. The air-conditioned cabin provides a comfortable and practical space for crew, particularly valuable when used in conjunction with a larger vessel.

For operators targeting deep water species, a commercial-grade deep drop equipment package is available separately by negotiation. This includes electric deep-drop reels, Minn Kota electric motor setup, and high-performance Furuno transducers--offering a ready-to-deploy system without the need for additional setup.

This matters because vessels in this size range that combine reef fishing capability, live fish systems, and tender vessel advantages are increasingly difficult to find. This Roberts 30 gives you multiple operational pathways--from standalone fishing to supporting a larger commercial setup.

This is a 9.14m commercial fishing vessel powered by a Cummins diesel, suited to reef line, deep drop, and live coral trout operations, while also offering valuable tender vessel capability under the 10m threshold.
