When it comes to serious offshore boating, a few names inspire as much confidence as Yellowfin. As Australia’s oldest boat manufacturer, Yellowfin Plate Boats is built on a legacy of craftsmanship, durability, and innovation. Every vessel is a reflection of the team's passion for performance and commitment to safety, strength, and style. Designed with the rigours of offshore fishing in mind, Yellowfin boats are more than just capable; they’re built to excel in some of the toughest conditions the ocean can throw at you.

Passion Built into Every Plate

Yellowfin boats aren’t just mass-produced; they’re precision-crafted by some of the most skilled and experienced boat builders in the industry. This attention to detail and pride in craftsmanship are evident across the entire lineup. Whether you’re after a hard-core fishing rig or a dependable boat for offshore adventures, Yellowfin delivers performance with purpose.

Inter-Lok Core: Built for the Rough Stuff

Building on the acclaimed Southerner Range, Yellowfin’s Inter-Lok Core represents the next generation of hull construction. At the heart of this system are 2 full-height stringers and 8 full-length, one-piece stringers that work together with interlocking gibs to create a rock-solid foundation. The Inter-Lok Core significantly improves handling, stability, and strength, making it the perfect platform for serious offshore expeditions. The result is a more responsive and robust boat that thrives in unpredictable waters.

Auto-Drain Deck: Safety First

One of the standout features in every Yellowfin Plate Boat is the Auto-Drain Deck system. Unlike traditional bilge setups, the Auto-Drain Deck is designed to remove water quickly and efficiently, adding an extra layer of safety during rough offshore conditions. It includes a fully sealed, no-return scupper system and a rear gutter that channels excess water to a lower chamber where it’s ready to be pumped out. This system operates separately from the underfloor bilge pump, giving boaters confidence in challenging weather or splash-heavy conditions. It's a safety feature that seasoned offshore anglers truly appreciate.

Marine Core Construction:  Strength Below the Surface

What sets Yellowfin boats apart isn’t just what you see on the surface; it’s what’s underneath that really counts. Marine Core Construction is Yellowfin’s unique internal framework made up of a milk-crate-style subframe of longitudinal and latitudinal ribs. These vertical stringers are 6mm thick and paired with 5mm horizontal ribs to form a highly reinforced structure. Every floor is completed with a fully welded plate and further supported by a box-section floor frame for unmatched durability.

The entire hull is constructed using marine-grade aluminium, with up to 6mm plate bottom sheets and 4mm topsides. Even the chine and keel are reinforced with four precision welds, all carried out by expert technicians. This attention to structural integrity makes Yellowfin Plate Boats ideal for anglers who demand strength, resilience, and performance from their vessel.

Ready for Serious Fishing

With features like self-draining decks, advanced hull designs, and reinforced marine-grade construction, Yellowfin Plate Boats are more than ready for whatever lies beyond the shoreline. For those who don’t just fish, but fish hard, Yellowfin offers a serious offshore solution crafted with pride, backed by heritage, and built to perform.
