46 Gameboat
View Video
The Release 46 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 46 Gameboat blends heritage with performance in all the right ways..
Designed to be fast, efficient, and fiercely capable, the 46 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.
01. The Concept
The Release 46 Gameboat isn’t a compromise. She’s a weapon. A forty-six–foot flybridge built for captains who fish hard, run fast, and refuse to play by production-boat rules. In a market clogged with floating condos and watered-down “fishing features,” this boat closes the gap—purpose-built for tournaments, long runs to the FADs, and owners who want a boat that looks right, runs right, and fights right.
Her DNA comes straight from the classics—clean lines, honest proportions, a cockpit that bleeds fishability—then fused with vacuum-infused composites, modern systems, and efficiency numbers the old guard never dreamed of. This is tradition sharpened by technology. She’s for the angler who doesn’t ask permission, doesn’t wait for the forecast, and doesn’t apologize when he backs in with blood on the decks.
02. PERFORMANCE & FISHABILITY
The 46 Gameboat was built to run when the forecast says stay home. A sharp entry and rounded keel punch through head seas clean, while her hull form keeps the ride honest—fast, smooth, and dry. She jumps on plane quick, carries herself light, and carves turns with the balance of a smaller boat. At cruise she delivers what serious crews demand—around a mile per gallon in the low 30-knot range—with optional power pushing her into the high 30s when it’s time to chase daylight. Troll her all day and she won’t wander; stability and tracking stay locked, no matter the sea.
From the bridge, visibility is total—clear lines when backing down, no guessing on the drift. And her wake is the kind fishermen look for: clean, flat, and begging to raise fish.
The cockpit is all business. A wide mezzanine with cold storage and seating keeps the crew sharp between bites. Livewell systems can be spec’d to keep every bait swimming strong, while deep storage keeps the pit clear for the fight. Teaser reels and tower controls sit exactly where the pros want them, not where designers think they should go.
This cockpit was drawn by fishermen, not decorators. And here’s the edge—because of her clean wake, balanced stance, and true gameboat proportions, the 46 doesn’t just raise fish—she dares them not to show.
03. INTERIOR LAYOUT
Every owner runs a boat with a different mission. The 46 Gameboat was drawn to handle them all without losing her edge.
Tournament Weapon
She’s built to fish sunup to sundown with a cockpit that doesn’t quit. Fast to the grounds, quick on the backing, steady on the troll—this is a platform designed to win, not just show up.
FAD Chaser
With her efficiency and range, the 46 runs long to meet the bite where it happens. Stable at drift, predictable in rough water, she’s a weapon for those who live off a spread of teasers and dredges a hundred miles from home.
Family Weekender
Strip away the ballyhoo and she still carries the same clean lines and honest ride. A forward berth and galley make her just as comfortable for a run to the islands as she is for a triple-digit release day. This is a boat your kids will remember, not just ride.
Every profile is backed by the same truth: she’s a gameboat first. Whether you’re chasing points, stacking releases, or showing your family what the horizon looks like, the 46 never forgets why she was built—to raise fish, run hard, and carry your story forward.
04. BUILD & CRAFTSMANSHIP
The 46 Gameboat may be a weapon offshore, but she doesn’t punish her crew. Step inside and you’ll see the same no-nonsense philosophy—everything you need, nothing you don’t. The salon flows clean, built for quick meals, chart work, or grabbing ten minutes of sleep between bites. Every detail is drawn to serve the mission, not distract from it.
Below, the layout flexes depending on how you run her. Owners can spec a forward berth for family weekends, or bunks to stack a tournament crew. Galley and head spaces are efficient, practical, and finished with the same hand-faired teak and composite work that make her a Release. It’s not a floating condo—and that’s the point.
Up top, the flybridge is all about command. Sightlines are wide open, helm controls fall under hand, and there’s space to ride with your crew without clutter. Add a tower and you’ve got the ultimate lookout for FAD fishing, bait balls, or finding that one set of birds everyone else missed.
This isn’t luxury for luxury’s sake. It’s comfort that keeps the crew sharp, the owner proud, and the boat honest. She’s designed to fight all day—and still be a place you want to share a drink when you get back to the dock.
05. BUILD & TECHNOLOGY
The 46 Gameboat isn’t just styled like a classic—she’s engineered with everything we’ve learned from decades of hard fishing. Her hull, decks, and bulkheads are vacuum-infused with advanced composites, giving her the strength of a battleship without the weight penalty. Stringers and bulkheads are integrated into the infusion, creating one solid structure that won’t work loose or rattle after years of hard runs.
Systems are laid out with the same logic as her lines—clean, simple, and serviceable. Pumps, wiring, and plumbing are all accessible without crawling through a maze. Because when something needs attention offshore, you don’t have time to guess.
The finish isn’t just about looks—it’s about endurance. Hand-faired glass, real teak where it matters, and hardware selected because it lasts, not because it was cheapest on the shelf. Add Release’s obsessive attention to detail, and you’ve got a boat that fights corrosion, vibration, and fatigue long after the first coat of wax wears off.
Technology here isn’t a gimmick—it’s a tool. From integrated helm electronics to optional Seakeeper stabilization, every system has a purpose: to keep you fishing harder, running faster, and turning more days on the water into stories worth telling.
.06 BUILT FOR LEGENDS
The 46 Gameboat isn’t for everyone. She’s for the ones who know what it means to earn a fish, to bleed on the decks, to carve their name into the wake. For the ones who hear the crash of a marlin on the teaser and feel it in their chest. For the ones who believe a boat should be more than transportation—it should be a story.
At Release, we don’t mass-produce hulls. We build them one at a time, by hand, with the scars, sweat, and pride of craftsmen who know these boats will outlive them. Each one is a future classic, designed to run hard today and still turn heads decades from now.
The 46 was drawn to create stories worth retelling—tournament victories, family firsts, friendships forged offshore. She’s not a luxury toy or a production number. She’s a legend in the making. And the only question left is: do you want your name on her transom?
