Hand Built in the USA.

The Contender 39ST is hand built in Homestead, FL with a variety of fishing and boating options to create the boat that fits your offshore lifestyle.

Built to Order.

Every Contender is hand laid fiberglass with an attention to detail in hull ride that keeps captains and customers coming back with new developments to further their boating game.  The build process is not an automated assembly line that offers no options.  Our model options make ever boat unique with the personality and style to make it your own.

Built for the Blue Water.

Built for speed, range, and finding big fish in blue water.  The 39ST is the start of an offshore adventure designed to take you to places most folks don’t ever get a chance to see – beyond the bay, out in the ocean where currents rip, and sea floors fall.  The boat that takes you cruising to the canyons, or idling through inspiring islands.
