The Release 46 Gameboat is a return to everything that made classic sportfishers great—with none of the compromises. From its timeless profile and special details to its resin-infused hull and tournament-ready cockpit, the 46 Gameboat blends heritage with performance in all the right ways.. Designed to be fast, efficient, and fiercely capable, the 46 delivers a smooth, dry ride whether you’re running down a blue marlin or making a long run back to the barn. It’s not just about how it looks—it’s about how it fishes, how it handles, and how it holds up after thousands of offshore hours. This is performance, built on principle. The Release 46 Gameboat isn’t a compromise. She’s a weapon. A forty-six–foot flybridge built for captains who fish hard, run fast, and refuse to play by production-boat rules. In a market clogged with floating condos and watered-down “fishing features,” this boat closes the gap—purpose-built for tournaments, long runs to the FADs, and owners who want a boat that looks right, runs right, and fights right. Her DNA comes straight from the classics—clean lines, honest proportions, a cockpit that bleeds fishability—then fused with vacuum-infused composites, modern systems, and efficiency numbers the old guard never dreamed of. This is tradition sharpened by technology. She’s for the angler who doesn’t ask permission, doesn’t wait for the forecast, and doesn’t apologize when he backs in with blood on the decks. The 46 Gameboat was built to run when the forecast says stay home. A sharp entry and rounded keel punch through head seas clean, while her hull form keeps the ride honest—fast, smooth, and dry. She jumps on plane quick, carries herself light, and carves turns with the balance of a smaller boat. At cruise she delivers what serious crews demand—around a mile per gallon in the low 30-knot range—with optional power pushing her into the high 30s when it’s time to chase daylight. Troll her all day and she won’t wander; stability and tracking stay locked, no matter the sea. From the bridge, visibility is total—clear lines when backing down, no guessing on the drift. And her wake is the kind fishermen look for: clean, flat, and begging to raise fish. The cockpit is all business. A wide mezzanine with cold storage and seating keeps the crew sharp between bites. Livewell systems can be spec’d to keep every bait swimming strong, while deep storage keeps the pit clear for the fight. Teaser reels and tower controls sit exactly where the pros want them, not where designers think they should go. This cockpit was drawn by fishermen, not decorators. And here’s the edge—because of her clean wake, balanced stance, and true gameboat proportions, the 46 doesn’t just raise fish—she dares them not to show.

Some guys want to fish from the bridge. Others want to be in the blood and spray—a few steps from the cockpit when it all goes down. That’s who the 46 Express is for. She’s lean, with an elevated helm and plenty of seating for a tournament-sized crew. Built for owners who fish hands-on—whether you’ve got a mate or not. The 46 Express is part of a proven lineup—same battle-tested hull as our other models. Same relentless attention to detail. Just configured for how you run. And if you fish like you mean it, this one keeps you in the game, tight to the lines and never far from the fight. At Release, we don’t build boats to look pretty in a slip. We build them to run hard, fish far, and hold together when the weather quits being friendly. Every 46 Express starts with our vacuum-infused modified epoxy system. We even infuse the stringer grid into the hull. Why? Because you’ll never wish your boat was less stiff. Whether you set her up for hardcore tournament days or family island runs, what you get is the same: a serious offshore hull that’s light, strong, and built to haul you to the edge—and back again.

At Release Boatworks, we don’t follow trends—we build what we’d want to run ourselves. And the 46 Walkaround sportfishing boat is the perfect example. She’s got the heart of a center console and the soul of a classic custom sportfisher—360 degrees of fishability, the safety of high gunnels, and just enough comfort below to go long, stay out, and come back ready to do it again. This is the boat that helped bring the modern walkaround sportfishing design back into the spotlight—and she’s still the one they’re all trying to catch. We designed her alongside naval architect Erwin Gerards with one goal: build a boat that works as hard as you do. The 150-square-foot cockpit is wide open, with smart storage, clean lines, and nothing in the way when it’s time to go full contact. You’ve got room to move, room to rig, and room to bleed a big one. Every Release Boatworks 46 Walkaround starts with a simple idea: give the offshore fisherman everything he needs—and nothing he doesn’t.”That’s why the cockpit is clean, the access is easy, and the systems are built to be maintained at sea, not in the yard. Every detail—from the way the tackle is stowed to how the helm is laid out—comes from decades of real-world sportfishing experience. She’s all business. No gimmicks. No fluff. Just the tools, right where you need them.
