2025 Contender 44 ST en Lighthouse Point, Florida, USA

As Contender’s flagship and largest boat to date, the 44ST excels in performance, quality, fishability, and reliability. The 44ST is designed and engineered for speed and bluewater competitive sport fishing with a proven double-stepped hull and reverse chines perfectly balanced for the soft, dry ride and seakeeping ability Contender is renowned for. With a 44 ft. length and 12 ft. beam, weighing 19,600 lbs., and configured with triple or quad Yamaha outboards (up to 2000 hp), the 44ST is powerful and stable for running in all sea conditions, safely and faster than other center consoles in her class. It offers a stable platform for the gap tower to see fish comfortably.
Among the 44ST’s innovative features are the port and starboard forward seats recessed under the gunnel caps to keep the forward deck space open for fishing. A large lounge seat with three large storage compartments is forward of the center console, providing a comfortable relaxation and sunning area.
