43’ Gameboat
Where Sportfishing Legacy, Meets Relentless, High-Performance Design.
The Release 43 Gameboat is a return to everything that made classic sportfishers great—with none of the compromises. From its timeless profile and special details to its resin-infused hull and tournament-ready cockpit, the 43 Gameboat blends heritage with performance in all the right ways..
Designed to be fast, efficient, and fiercely capable, the 43 delivers a smooth, dry ride whether you’re running down a blue marlin or making a long run back to the barn. It’s not just about how it looks—it’s about how it fishes, how it handles, and how it holds up after thousands of offshore hours. This is performance, built on principle.
Where Classic Lines Meet Cold Intensions.
The Release Boatworks 43 Gameboat carries on our legacy of building timeless, fish-first machines—custom sportfishing boats that turn heads and raise fish. She’s a family-friendly bruiser with the soul of a classic and the muscle of a modern custom—pairing a clean, efficient wake with a cockpit built to put blood on the deck.
Below, you’ll find a choice of proven layouts—each one dialed in through thousands of hours in design and engineering—so you can customize your 43-foot sportfishing boat to your kind of adventure while leaning on our combined lifetimes of experience on the water.
With standard twin 550-hp Cummins QSB6.7 diesels, she cruises at nearly 30 knots and tops out at 35. And thanks to a modern hull design by naval architect Erwin Gerards, the 43 delivers seakeeping that keeps you fishing when others head for the barn.
Built to Work. Designed to Last.
The 36 Express isn’t chasing trends. She’s built to do the job—today, tomorrow, and twenty years from now.
Her cabin is hand-built in New Jersey by real craftsmen who know that utility doesn’t have to mean ugly. You’ll find a dry bunk, secure stowage, a compact galley, and space to gear up without doing yoga. No fluff. No wasted inches. Just a clean, finished interior that holds up under real use.
She’s a shelter when the squall hits. A place to reset between runs. And proof that small boats can still be built with big-league standards.
The 43’ Gameboat Isn’t For Everyone, And That’s the Point
The Release Boatworks 43 Gameboat is built for those who put in real time offshore. Those who know the sound of a marlin crashing the spread—and the long, quiet hours between bites.
Inside this 43-foot custom sportfishing boat, it’s all function, no fluff. Every cabin is hand-built by our craftsmen in New Jersey, shaped to how you fish—whether it’s a week in the Bahamas or a quiet overnight on the hook. This isn’t a floating condo. It’s a purpose-built offshore fishing boat with soul. And she’s yours to shape.
