Meet the Fleet: Exploring Overtime Sportfishing's Top-Tier Vessels
The Heart of the Adventure: Why the Right Boat Matters
When it comes to sportfishing, the boat you’re on can make or break the experience. It's not just about getting from the dock to the fishing grounds; it's about how safely and comfortably you get there, how well the boat handles rough seas, and how effectively it helps you land that once-in-a-lifetime catch. That’s why Overtime Sportfishing Charters invests so much in maintaining a first-class fleet.
Their boats are more than transportation. They are high-performance platforms built for serious anglers. Whether you’re chasing bluefin tuna offshore or working the coast for striped bass, having the right boat for the job transforms your day into an adventure.
Comfort, Safety, and Performance on the Water
Fishing with a professional charter means trusting the boat as much as the captain. A top-tier fishing vessel like those in the Overtime fleet ensures you’ll ride smoothly, fish effectively, and stay safe throughout your trip. Features like engine reliability, on-board electronics, deck layout, and safety gear all play a role in how successful — and enjoyable — your outing will be.
Choosing the Right Boat for the Right Trip
Every fishing trip is different. If you’re planning a long day chasing bluefin tuna well offshore, you’ll need a big, stable boat built to handle deep water and changing conditions. But if you’re hoping to enjoy a few hours of light tackle fishing nearshore, a fast, nimble vessel is the better choice. That’s why Overtime Sportfishing Charters operates two distinct boats, each custom-suited for specific types of fishing.
Spotlight on the Northern Bay 38 — The Offshore Workhorse
Designed for Deep Sea Dominance
The Northern Bay 38, affectionately named "Alexandra Paige," is a 2006 model that underwent a complete refit in early 2025. This versatile fishing vessel is built to handle everything from inshore striper trips to long-range tuna excursions. Outfitted with the latest equipment and safety gear, it allows for comfortable fishing in all weather conditions.
Comfort Meets Capability
Despite its rugged build, the Northern Bay 38 offers plenty of comfort for long days on the water. With ample deck space, a clean and organized layout, and updated features from its 2025 refit, it delivers both practicality and ease for anglers. Modern navigation, fish-finding electronics, and safety systems round out the experience, making it a reliable and enjoyable choice for everything from tuna runs to local striper fishing.
Meet the Regulator 26 — The Nimble Inshore Specialist
Speed and Agility in Coastal Waters
The Regulator 26, a 2012 model, carries most of Overtime's charter trips. Recently re-powered with brand new Mercury 225 engines, this boat is fast, comfortable, and equipped with all the necessary gear for a successful trip, regardless of the target species. It's ideal for light tackle fishing and nearshore species, offering easy maneuverability and quick access to fish.
Technology, Storage, and Simplicity
Don't let its size fool you. The Regulator 26 is packed with advanced electronics, rod holders, livewells, and ample storage, keeping everything organized and accessible. It's the kind of boat that lets you jump right into the action without overthinking the setup.
Maintained to Perfection: The Overtime Standard
Weekly Checks and Year-Round Care
Anyone who knows boats knows that maintenance is key. Overtime Sportfishing Charters doesn't just clean up before a trip. They put every vessel through regular mechanical checks, system diagnostics, and cosmetic touch-ups to ensure every outing is smooth, safe, and worry-free. These boats are cared for like part of the family — because they are.
Guest Confidence from the First Step Onboard
The first thing guests notice when they step aboard is the pride of ownership. Every surface is clean, every tool in place, every line neatly coiled. That level of care tells you everything you need to know about how serious the crew is about your experience. Whether it's your first trip or your fiftieth, you'll feel confident and comfortable from the moment you step on deck.
Final Thoughts: The Boat Makes the Experience
The captains at Overtime Sportfishing Charters are experts in their field. But they'll be the first to tell you that their success is also due to the boats beneath their boots. The Northern Bay 38 and Regulator 26 are more than just vessels — they're trusted partners in every successful trip. And when you're out chasing big fish and even bigger memories, that kind of reliability makes all the difference.
Choosing the right boat isn't just about size or horsepower. It's about the whole experience. With Overtime Sportfishing Charters, you get boats that are comfortable, clean, and capable — designed to give every guest the best shot at the fish of a lifetime.
