Black Watch 40 Flybridge Sport Fisher

"If you know Blackwatch, you already understand what this boat represents.
This recently refitted Blackwatch 40 is a proper offshore weapon, built on a hull that has earned its reputation the hard way, and now updated where it counts to deliver a modern, turn-key game fishing platform.

From the cockpit, it's immediately clear what this boat is about. The layout is clean, uncluttered, and highly functional, with new flooring underfoot, fresh teak gunnels, and the space you need to fish properly. Whether you're trolling a spread, working bait, or clearing gear in a hurry, everything about this cockpit is set up for real use, not just for show.
Up top, the flybridge is dialled. New Strataglass clears, clean sightlines, and a full Simrad electronics package give you the tools to find fish and stay on them. The transducer setup is serious, B275LHW paired with 2kW and 3kW units, delivering the kind of detail and depth capability that experienced offshore anglers demand. Morse electronic controls round out the helm, providing smooth and precise handling when it matters.

Power comes from twin Cummins 6CTA 8.3 diesels (450HP) with approximately 1,200 hours, one of the most respected and proven packages in this class. Importantly, the aftercoolers and heat exchangers have just been overhauled, backed by ZF gearboxes. This is a drivetrain built for reliability, range, and long days offshore.
Supporting systems have been brought up to standard, including all new batteries, Victron inverter and charger, and a Kohler 7.5kVA genset. Add in bow thruster for close-quarters control and a recent slip in June, and this is a boat that has been properly prepared and maintained.

Below deck, you still get the benefit of a well-appointed interior, with updated flooring, two cabins, and accommodation for up to six. Cruisair air conditioning, smart TVs, and Starlink connectivity make extended trips comfortable, but the focus remains clear, this is a fishing boat first, with the ability to stay out longer and do it properly.

And that's where this Blackwatch really stands out. It's not a compromised crossover trying to do everything, it's a genuine offshore game platform that's been upgraded to modern expectations without losing what makes it so effective in the first place. "
