Revolutionary Fishing Personal Watercraft Design
The Sea-Doo FishPro series fundamentally reimagines what's possible when you combine personal watercraft technology with dedicated fishing features. These innovative machines allow Long Island anglers to access fishing spots that traditional boats simply cannot reach, from shallow flats to rocky areas where bigger vessels fear to venture.
Built on Sea-Doo's proven ST3 platform, the FishPro models offer exceptional stability both at rest and while underway. This platform provides the confidence needed for serious fishing while maintaining the agility that makes personal watercraft so enjoyable. The wider deck design creates ample space for moving around while fishing, whether you're casting from a sitting position or standing to get a better view of the action.
The intelligent design philosophy behind every FishPro model centers on versatility. While these watercraft excel at fishing, they remain equally capable of providing family fun and recreational riding. This dual-purpose capability makes them ideal for Long Island families who want maximum value from their investment in watercraft recreation.
The robust Polytec hull construction delivers durability that exceeds traditional fiberglass while reducing weight for improved performance and fuel efficiency. This material resists scratches and impacts better than conventional hull materials, making it perfect for the varied conditions found around Long Island's coastline and inland waterways.

The Scout's hull design prioritizes ease of operation, making it ideal for newer riders while still delivering the confident handling experienced anglers demand. The predictable ride characteristics help build confidence whether you're learning to fish from a personal watercraft or introducing family members to this exciting form of recreation.
FishPro Sport: The Original Pioneer
As the original FishPro model, the Sport established the fishing personal watercraft category and continues to define what's possible when serious fishing meets personal watercraft performance. This mid-range model offers an ideal balance of fishing features and recreational capabilities.
The Sport features the powerful Rotax 1630 ACE 170 horsepower engine, the most potent naturally aspirated Rotax engine available on a Sea-Doo watercraft. This powerplant delivers impressive top-end speed to reach fishing locations quickly while maintaining excellent efficiency for all-day adventures.
Key fishing features include a specialized fishing bench seat that accommodates both sitting and standing fishing positions, angled gunwale footrests for secure footing while fighting fish, and the advanced Garmin Echomap fish finder with 7-inch screen and in-hull transducer.

The rugged 13.5-gallon LinQ fishing cooler features a recessed work surface, three innovative rod holders, trolling slots, and dedicated tackle and bait storage compartments. The cooler's design integrates seamlessly with the watercraft while providing all the storage and organization serious anglers require.
The Sport's extended rear platform adds 11.5 inches to the back of the watercraft, creating additional space for boarding and fishing while improving stability when carrying a full load of gear or fish. This extended platform proves invaluable when landing larger fish or when multiple anglers need to move around the craft.
FishPro Trophy: Tournament-Level Performance
The FishPro Trophy represents the pinnacle of fishing personal watercraft technology, designed specifically for serious anglers who demand tournament-level capabilities. This premium model includes advanced features that transform your fishing experience and expand your angling horizons.
The Trophy's revolutionary swivel seat transforms from a comfortable riding position into a elevated pedestal seat ideal for sight fishing in shallow waters. The seat installs in seconds and provides a game-changing elevated perspective, while the pedestal and backrest stow cleverly away when not needed.
The integrated quick-connect livewell system converts the LinQ fishing cooler into a functional livewell in seconds. An integrated pump constantly circulates fresh water to keep your catch or live bait in optimal condition throughout your fishing day. This system eliminates the need for separate livewell equipment while maintaining the cooler's primary function.
Advanced electronics include a 7-inch touchscreen chartplotter and fish finder featuring an in-hull transducer with mid-CHIRP technology.

Advanced Technology Integration
Garmin Fish Finding Technology
Every FishPro model includes sophisticated Garmin fish finding technology that rivals equipment found on dedicated fishing boats. The systems feature in-hull transducers that eliminate the need for external mounting while providing reliable operation in all conditions.
The advanced CHIRP technology available on higher-end models sends multiple frequency pulses simultaneously, creating detailed sonar images that clearly distinguish fish from structure. This technology proves invaluable when fishing Long Island's complex underwater terrain, from artificial reefs to natural structure.
The chartplotting capabilities include detailed mapping of Long Island waters, from the intricate channels of the Great South Bay to the offshore grounds frequented by striped bass and bluefish. Regular map updates ensure you have access to the latest navigational information and fishing hotspots.
Intelligent Debris-Free System
The innovative iDF (Intelligent Debris-Free) system allows riders to clear clogged pump intakes without getting wet or ending your fishing trip. With the simple push of a button, the system reverses pump rotation to clear debris, seaweed, or fishing line that might otherwise require diving under the watercraft.
This technology proves especially valuable when fishing areas with heavy vegetation or debris, common conditions in many Long Island fishing locations. The system maximizes your time on the water while reducing the frustration associated with pump clogs.
LinQ Accessory System
The LinQ attachment system provides tool-free installation of accessories in seconds. The system allows quick installation and removal of coolers, storage compartments, and other fishing accessories without permanent modifications to your watercraft.
For fishing applications, the LinQ system supports specialized coolers, additional storage compartments, and even camping accessories for extended fishing expeditions. The versatility of the system means you can quickly reconfigure your watercraft for different types of adventures.
Performance and Handling Characteristics
Rotax Engine Technology
Sea-Doo's advanced Rotax engines provide the perfect combination of power, efficiency, and reliability for fishing applications. The naturally aspirated engines in the Scout and Sport models offer excellent fuel economy and simplified maintenance, while the supercharged Apex engine delivers ultimate performance for demanding conditions.
All FishPro engines feature closed-loop cooling systems that protect against corrosion in saltwater environments. This technology extends engine life while reducing maintenance requirements, particularly important for Long Island anglers who fish in both freshwater and saltwater locations.
The engines include trolling mode capability that maintains precise low speeds perfect for trolling applications. This feature allows you to cover productive water at optimal trolling speeds while maintaining excellent control and fuel efficiency.
ST3 Platform Stability
The proven ST3 platform provides exceptional stability that instills confidence whether you're fighting a large fish or navigating challenging conditions. The wider beam and optimized weight distribution create a stable platform that reduces fatigue during long fishing days.
The platform's design facilitates easy boarding from the water, an important consideration when fishing alone or in situations where you might need to enter the water to unhook a fish or retrieve equipment. The boarding platform and handles are strategically positioned for maximum convenience.
The hull design delivers excellent rough-water handling that allows you to fish effectively even when conditions deteriorate. This capability extends your fishing opportunities and provides the confidence needed to venture into areas where fish are most active.
Fishing-Specific Features and Benefits
Rod Holder Configurations
Each FishPro model includes strategically positioned rod holders that accommodate various fishing techniques and rod lengths. The holders secure rods safely during transport while providing quick access when fishing opportunities arise.
The adjustable and removable nature of many rod holders allows customization based on your preferred fishing style. Whether you prefer trolling with multiple rods or casting with a single rod, the holders can be configured to support your technique.
Storage Solutions
Comprehensive storage throughout each FishPro model accommodates all the gear serious anglers require. From tackle organization to cooler space for your catch, every storage compartment is designed with fishing applications in mind.
The front storage areas remain easily accessible while seated, allowing you to reach essential gear without standing or moving around the craft. This convenience proves valuable when you need to change lures quickly or access additional tackle.
Watertight storage compartments protect sensitive electronics, spare clothing, and other items that must stay dry. The compartments include USB charging ports to keep essential devices powered throughout your fishing day.
Fishing-Specific Seating
The specialized seating arrangements on FishPro models accommodate both comfortable riding and effective fishing positions. The bench-style seats provide stable platforms for standing while offering comfortable seating during travel.
The gunwale footrests provide secure footing when standing to cast or fight fish. These features prove essential when dealing with larger fish that require careful handling or when fishing in areas where precise boat positioning is critical.
Long Island Fishing Applications
Great South Bay Opportunities
The FishPro's shallow-water capabilities open up extensive fishing opportunities throughout the Great South Bay system. These watercraft can access areas too shallow for traditional boats while moving quickly between productive fishing locations.
Popular species like fluke, striped bass, and bluefish frequently inhabit the bay's complex structure, from channels and drop-offs to shallow flats where baitfish concentrate. The FishPro's ability to fish these varied environments from a single platform maximizes your angling opportunities.
Ocean Fishing Capabilities
The larger FishPro models possess the offshore capabilities needed for ocean fishing around Long Island. The combination of speed, stability, and range allows access to productive fishing grounds from Montauk Point to Fire Island Inlet.
The advanced fish finding technology proves invaluable when locating structure and fish in the vast ocean environment. The ability to cover water quickly while maintaining fish-finding capabilities gives FishPro anglers significant advantages over traditional approaches.
Freshwater Applications
Long Island's freshwater lakes and ponds provide excellent fishing opportunities for FishPro owners. The watercraft's versatility allows effective fishing for species ranging from largemouth bass to northern pike in environments where traditional fishing boats might be prohibited or impractical.
The quiet operation and minimal wake production of personal watercraft make them ideal for fishing pressure-sensitive freshwater species. The ability to access remote areas of larger lakes gives anglers access to less-pressured fish populations.
Maintenance and Ownership Experience
Simplified Maintenance Requirements
FishPro models require significantly less maintenance than traditional fishing boats while delivering superior performance and capabilities. The absence of complex lower units, propellers, and through-hull fittings simplifies maintenance and reduces potential failure points.
Regular maintenance consists primarily of engine oil changes, spark plug replacement, and seasonal preparation procedures. The straightforward maintenance requirements allow owners to perform most routine service themselves, reducing ownership costs and increasing availability.
Winter Storage Considerations
Proper winter storage protects your FishPro investment and ensures reliable operation when fishing season returns. The watercraft's design facilitates easy winterization procedures that can be completed in your garage or storage facility.
Professional winterization services are available at Habberstad Powersports for owners who prefer expert service. Our certified technicians ensure your FishPro is properly prepared for storage and ready for immediate use when spring arrives.
