Custom 38' Game Fishing Boat

Step aboard Sea Baby II -- a game fishing vessel with a truly legendary pedigree. First launched in Cairns in 1968, she has been turning heads, spinning reels, and landing marlin for decades, earning her place as a genuine icon of Australia waters.

Built by Harold and Allan Collis for the renowned Captain George Bransford, Sea Baby II holds a special place in Australian maritime history as the country's first twin-screw game boat. Her solid timber and plywood construction preserves a timeless elegance and unmistakable old-school charm, transporting you back to the pioneering days of east coast game fishing.

Fire up the twin V8 diesel engines and you'll feel it instantly -- that deep, unmistakable rumble that signals to every marlin in the area that a serious contender has arrived. Throughout the vessel, plaques and details proudly showcase a rich history of performance and prestige.

Few boats in Australia can rival her decorated past. Skippered by some of the sport's most respected names -- including George Bransford, Laurie Woodbridge, and Paul Whelan -- she boasts an exceptional record of grander marlin captures during the golden years of the Cairns heavy tackle fishery.

Sea Baby II has been meticulously maintained and sympathetically upgraded, remaining remarkably true to her original build. She stands as a testament to 28 years of dedicated ownership and care.

Measuring 12.00 metres overall, she offers generous space for both serious fishing expeditions and relaxed family outings, combining comfort with practical functionality.

Powered by twin 220HP Cummins V8 diesel engines she cruises comfortably at 16 knots. Modern Garmin electronics provide reliable navigation to complement her classic pedigree.
