32' Custom Built Sabalo Sportfish
THE BOAT
The F/V Redemption Song is a completely custom thirty-two foot Sabalo Sportfish built in St. Petersburg, FL. She is just under thirty-three feet long, nearly eleven feet wide at the transom, and was designed and built specifically to fish the Gulf of Mexico. She is powered by a single Cummins QSB 380hp turbo diesel which provides swift and efficient propulsion to the fishing grounds with no smoke or fumes. With three hundred gallons of 100% Biodiesel biofuel onboard, she has a range of just under one thousand miles per fill up. She even has a small air conditioned cabin, microwave, Keurig Coffee maker, marine toilet, and a bountiful fresh water supply with sinks and showers both on deck and in the cabin below.
Captain Tom chose the Redemption Song because she stood head and shoulders above the competition in comfort, seaworthiness, speed, efficiency, and fishing amenities. Her comfortable, cushioned seating provides ample room for 6 guests and her crew of two to spread out and relax. There is even seating for four guests in the fly bridge! The spacious cockpit and clean transom offers plenty of room for six anglers, while still allowing Capt. Tom and crew to move about the vessel freely. A 125 gallon live well will store more than enough bait for a day, or even two days of fishing with no problems. Nothing has been left out, and every detail has been attended to in the design and construction of this ultimate fishing platform. From Tarpon off the beaches and in Charlotte Harbor to Kingfish, Cobia, Sharks, and Goliath Grouper on the nearshore reefs and even plying the distant depths of the Gulf of Mexico and Dry Tortugas for prized Grouper, Snapper, and Gamefish, Redemption Song will get you to the fishing grounds faster, safer, and more comfortably than virtually any vessel in Southwest Florida.
Redemption Song is equipped with the very best in electronics and Safety equipment including: Two auto inflating life rafts, EPIRB, Satellite Vessel Monitoring & Distress System, VHF & single side band radios, and state of the art WxWorx satellite weather monitoring system providing up to the minute weather forecasting and tracking features. She is also equipped with a full suite of Furuno electronics including: 72 mile open array radar, 2kw commercial grade bottom machine, and interphase searchlight sonar system. She is also federally permitted as both a Charter and Commercial fishing vessel in the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic.
