A water craft used mainly for fishing is considered to be a fishing boat. These boats can range from only 10 feet long and up to 36 feet long. A fishing boat usually has room for at least two people but the actual number is determined by the size of the boat. A fisherman will need to select a boat type based on what kind of fishing will be done. A flat or bay boat is suitable for using during inshore saltwater fishing. A cuddy cabin or center console fishing boat is used if the fisherman will take part in offshore saltwater fishing. Boats that lay close to the water are used by bass fishers. Fresh water fishing is very versatile and almost any kind of fishing boat is appropriate for this lake fishing. Amenities are a rarity on most fishing boats unless one counts rod and equipment storage. The price of a new fishing boat starts at several hundreds of dollars and extends upward. For the most accurate quote, contact a dealer and tell them the desired type of fishing and vessel to be purchased. Used fishing boats vary with the type of vessel.

A fishing boat from 1999 that is suited to be used for saltwater fishing costs significantly more at about $23,000.
