This is a boat for the ones who don't just fish - they hunt. The ones chasing dreams, legends, and ghosts that only show once in a lifetime. Balanced in big seas, quick on the throttle, and always ready to ride into the blue - and come back with a story worth telling.
At Release Boatworks, we don't follow trends-we build what we'd want to run ourselves. And the 46 Walkaround sportfishing boat is the perfect example. She's got the heart of a center console and the soul of a classic custom sportfisher-360 degrees of fishability, the safety of high gunnels, and just enough comfort below to go long, stay out, and come back ready to do it again. This is the boat that helped bring the modern walkaround sportfishing design back into the spotlight-and she's still the one they're all trying to catch.
Release designed her alongside naval architect Erwin Gerards with one goal: build a boat that works as hard as you do. The 150-square-foot cockpit is wide open, with smart storage, clean lines, and nothing in the way when it's time to go full contact. You've got room to move, room to rig, and room to bleed a big one.
Simply put, the 360 degree fishing of the boat is unmatched in any other boat design for the true fisherman. Now with several fishing tournaments allowing you to fish from the bow, but release the fish in the u0022aft of the vesselu0022, the Release 46 Walkaround is the perfect blend of center console and sportfishing boat for the true tournament angler!
