44FA
The 44FA is built from the same hull mold as the game changing 44ST. With a fish around liner, the boat offers a berth with queen-sized bed, enclosed head with shower, galley with sink, refrigerator/freezer, and stovetop that are a luxury for traveling offshore or to the islands.
With 12 feet of beam, this boat is built to handle the big blue water, and log some miles in pursuit of personal best billfish.
44 feet of full tilt, wave cutting, chest pounding, bad boy boat to get you to where you want to go before everyone else gets there.
From kite fishing for sailfish in south Florida, to the long tuna runs in the Atlantic Canyons…
…with a Contender, You’re Always in the Game.

Hand Built in the USA.
The Contender 44FA 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 44FA 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.
