NOT YOUR EVERYDAY SURTEES 800 GAMEFISHER

2025 SURTEES 800 GAMEFISHER - TWIN YAMAHA F200HP

Helm Master EX + Remote | Dual Garmin GPSMAP | Radar & FLIR | Carbon Outriggers | Full Game Fishing Package | GFAB Trailer

There's buying a Surtees 800 Gamefisher, and then there's buying one that's already had the time, money and thought put into setting it up properly.

Delivered new in February 2025, this particular 800 Gamefisher was extensively optioned from the outset, with an impressive combination of Yamaha technology, premium Garmin electronics, dedicated game fishing equipment and practical upgrades for extended offshore trips.

Powered by twin white Yamaha F200HP four-strokes, with approximately 558 hours each, the boat features Yamaha's Helm Master EX full manoeuvrability package, including joystick control, integrated autopilot and the additional remote controller.

Whether manoeuvring in tight quarters, running offshore or controlling the boat while fishing, it's a substantial upgrade over conventional twin-engine controls.

ELECTRONICS THAT MEAN BUSINESS:
The Garmin electronics fit-out is a major highlight, with a 16-inch GPSMAP 8416xsv at the helm and a second 12-inch GPSMAP 8412xsv positioned aft for the fishing crew.

Complementing the dual displays are Garmin radar and FLIR thermal imaging, creating a well-equipped navigation setup for early departures, offshore runs and returns after dark.

PURPOSE-RIGGED FOR GAME FISHING:
Rather than leaving the next owner to organise the fishing equipment, much of the expensive work has already been done.

The boat features Kraken 15ft carbon fibre outriggers, a shotgun pole, integrated transom tuna tubes and an upgraded bait station with five rod holders and twin drawers. Multiple Evolution 360-degree rotating rod holders, bent-butt rod holder provisions and electric reel sockets further complement the trolling setup, making this a particularly attractive package for serious game fishing enthusiasts.

SERIOUS FISHING WITHOUT GIVING UP THE COMFORTS
What makes this 800 Gamefisher particularly appealing is the balance between its offshore fishing setup and the facilities that make spending longer periods on the water practical.

The enclosed cabin provides weather protection, seating, sleeping infills and useful amenities, while the large working cockpit remains dedicated to fishing.
Whether it's an early start chasing marlin, a full day trolling offshore or an overnight trip, this boat has been configured with those activities in mind.

THE VALUE IS IN THE COMPLETE PACKAGE
Anyone familiar with properly setting up a large offshore fishing boat will appreciate how quickly the cost of quality electronics,

Yamaha vessel controls, outriggers and custom fishing equipment adds up.
With much of that work already completed, this late-model Surtees represents an opportunity to purchase a highly specified game fishing package without starting the entire rigging process again.
