Sailfish 25: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Sailfish 325DC is a versatile 34-foot dual-console boat with a 10-foot beam, designed to serve both as a capable fishing vessel and a comfortable family cruiser suitable for water sports. As the largest dual-console model from Sailfish, it caters to active boating families seeking a blend of recreational and angling features.

Exterior Design and Cockpit Features

The cockpit offers nearly 56 square feet of space, optimized for fishing with a 2-foot 6-inch deck height and combing panels for leaning comfort. Boarding is facilitated by a removable snap-down cushion on the jump seat and a transom door adjacent to a four-step stainless steel boarding ladder. The self-bailing cockpit includes hinged covers protecting drains from debris. Standard equipment along the stern includes a freshwater shower, four rod holders, a retractable ski tow, and a port-side livewell with an aeration system. An insulated fish locker with electrohydraulic aft seat lift provides easy access to mechanical systems. For entertaining, the cockpit accommodates at least seven guests with three standard fold-down seats and an optional fourth, complemented by a port-side table attachment. The hardtop with a powder-coated frame covers half the cockpit, featuring docking and courtesy lights, life jacket storage, and outrigger mounting plates.

Interior Living Spaces and Galley

The helm area features side-by-side seats with fold-up bolsters, angled footrests, and foldable armrests secured by push-button latches. The dash is ergonomically designed with a Mercury SmartCraft VesselView screen, a 12-inch Garmin GPS Map 7612 chart plotter, a Ritchie compass, and illuminated accessory switches. Storage compartments include a glove box with a 12-volt plug and cushioned interior, and a base locker housing cockpit and bow tables. Opposite the helm, the extra-wide companion seat offers outboard storage and an expandable net to secure items. Ahead of this seat, a hatch opens to a sitting room equipped with a small lounge, screened port, storage, a sink with Corian countertop, and optional microwave installation. The galley to starboard features a Corian countertop, built-in waste receptacle, three storage drawers, a large compartment for an optional grill, and an Isotherm refrigerator.

Bow and Head Facilities

The bow area includes an opening center section of the tempered glass windshield with an air dam below. Forward-facing backrests are angled for comfort, and a bow table can be easily installed from cockpit storage. Two large self-draining compartments serve as fish boxes or general storage, with insulated hatches supported by stainless steel struts. A 25-quart insulated cooler with overboard drainage is integrated, though additional drainage to prevent water buildup would be beneficial. The foredeck features a windlass as standard equipment, a cleat for anchor rode tie-off, and an access plate to the rope locker. A private head is located next to the aft starboard bow backrest, containing a marine toilet, sink with Corian countertop, an opening screened port, and a glovebox-style hatch providing access to helm rigging.

Power and Performance

The 325DC is offered with twin outboards from Yamaha or Mercury, supporting up to 700 total horsepower. The test model was equipped with twin 300-horsepower Mercury Verado supercharged four-stroke engines paired with Mercury Revolution IV 14 5/8 by 19-inch four-blade stainless steel propellers and 1.85:1 gear reductions. Weighing approximately 12,823 pounds, the boat achieved a top speed of 53.1 miles per hour at 5,500 RPM in 15-knot winds. The optimal cruising speed was 27.8 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, consuming 17.1 gallons per hour and providing a range of 434 miles with a 10% fuel reserve from its 297-gallon capacity. Acceleration tests showed planing at 20 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds and reaching 30 miles per hour in 7 seconds. The hull features Sailfish's variable degree step design with a sharp 24-degree deadrise at the keel that flares at the chines, complemented by a small pad at the keel for efficiency. Constructed entirely from composites with coring materials for strength and lightness, Kevlar reinforcements in the keel and transom corners, and carbon fiber to reduce deck flex, the 325DC demonstrated nimble handling and excellent course stability in windy conditions. The flared bow effectively minimized spray and chop, keeping the forward seating dry.

Conclusion

The Sailfish 325DC successfully combines fishing functionality with family cruising comforts. Its spacious cockpit, well-appointed helm and companion areas, private head, and protective hardtop make it a versatile vessel for both anglers and recreational users. The boat’s strong performance, solid construction, and thoughtful ergonomics contribute to its appeal as a reliable and enjoyable dual-console boat for active boating families.
