Longline fishing boats deploy lines ranging from 2 to 50 miles with baited hooks at set intervals. They are primarily used for targeting high-value pelagic species including swordfish, tuna, mahi-mahi, and halibut. Surface longliners set their gear near the surface for pelagic species, while deep-set longliners target mid-water and bottom species.

There are two main types of longline fishing boats available: offshore hunting boats designed for extended ocean voyages, and coastal fishing vessels suited to shorter trips on the Atlantic, Gulf, or Pacific seaboard. US Gulf shrimpers make excellent longline conversions — they have great seakeeping abilities, large ice holds, good fuel capacity, and roomy back decks for gear.

Ocean Marine Brokerage has been involved in longliner sales and shrimper-to-longliner conversions for decades. Browse our longliner listings or contact our team to discuss your specific needs.
