Contender has always been well known for producing some of the best performing center console fishing boats on the water, and the 35ST, goes beyond those expectations.
The innovative dual step design provides dramatic performance increases not only in speed, but also in fuel efficiency, and handling. The 35 Stepped hull’s one level deck, massive fish and storage boxes, and of course the incomparable ride, make this is a fisherman’s dream.
The tower calls you early in the morning. You know the winds will be howling, but that means the fish will be biting. You’re rigged, prepared, and ready to fish with a great crew. Stay in the game with fishability, reliability, and attention to detail on your side. You’re always in the game with a Contender.

Every Contender is custom. If you’re fishing sharks in California, or sailfish in south Florida, your target species dictates your needs. Don’t take a bass boat to a shark fight. Rig your boat to catch your fish with custom outriggers, downriggers, rod holders, electric reel outlets and more to build the fishing machine you’ve always hoped for.

The 35ST is available with custom fishing options, including towers built to sight fish, or spot birds for miles. Get above the water, and spot the bite finding fish by sight from above. Complete second station setups to keep you informed of position and other important information. The captain’s view from the tower is critical in directing championship crews and always staying at the helm. Once you’ve been in one, you’ll see the distinct competitive advantage of a captain level crows nest, and why Contenders are built for offshore fishing performance. You’ll see why Contender boats have been called the “unfair advantage”.
