Why the 2300HT?
7m Offshore Fishing Boat
An 18° deep-V hull, roughly 480 litres of flooding ballast and a 200 to 350 hp rating give the 2300HT the stability and headroom to handle real offshore conditions, not just a sheltered harbour on a calm day.
Storage & Practicality
Two under-floor wet lockers and four internal shelves mean gear for an extended trip has somewhere dry to actually live.
Layout & Comfort
A spacious cabin, wide beam and configurable seating, from a fishing-ready cockpit to a relaxed aft lounge, give the 2300 room to move, while a side door built into the hull makes getting on and off the water easy.
Premium Upgrades
Fully welded aluminium construction and upholstered hardtop roof panels mean the finish holds up to the same standard as the build underneath it.

The 2300HT is available as a hardtop, a centre console or a cuddy cabin. Every layout shares the same offshore-capable hull, dimensions and construction standard, so you choose the layout that suits how you fish and how you use the boat with family.
Yes. The 2300HT is a 7m offshore fishing boat with an offshore performance deep-V hull, a flooding ballast compartment of around 480L, sealed buoyancy compartments and a full buoyancy hull.

The standard 2300HT package includes a Mercury 200 hp outboard, and the hull is rated for 200 to 350 hp. Talk to the Flyfin team about the right engine for how far offshore you plan to go and how you'll load the boat.
