Want to combine deep sea fishing with a luxury yachting experience? New Zealand boat builder Sovereign Yachts just recently launched a new 103′ Sportfisherman that serves both functions equally well. The boat, dubbed “Al Duhail,” comes with accommodations for 10 guests and 4 crew and features a luxurious interior, as you’d expect on a yacht of its size. At the same time, the fishing yacht is equipped with two game chairs on the rear, allowing for an ample amount of fishing space. Al Duhail is the first of two Sportfisherman 103’s designed by Warwick Yacht Design. We’re not sure whether or not the boat’s have been spoken for yet. We do know that the second unit is under construction and will be built to similar specs as Al Duhail.
