Design

The Fishing Boat is an old but reliable fishing trawler favoured by fisheries and private entities throughout Chernarus.

Features
Aside from fishing, the Fishing Boat is capable of carrying up to seven passengers at a time and is also one of the fastest non-military maritime vessels.

The boat's driver has much better clearance and won't have much of their vision obstructed (unlike the Small Boat).

Drawbacks
Although the Fishing Boat is the fastest surface vessels available to civilians, it is painfully slow and will take almost a entire minute to reach its top speed of 20 km/h. Furthermore, none of the passengers are protected by small arms and combined with its slow speed, renders the driver an easy target for snipers.

Crew Capacity
Fishing Boats require a crew of just one, the driver themselves. They can transport up to seven additional passengers at a time.

Protection

The Fishing Boat has a base armour value of 10.

Hull

The hull can only survive 10 points of damage before its integrity fails.

Engine

The engine can incur up to 12 points of damage before failing.

Trivia

• Alongside Small Boats, ArmA 2 was the first title in the series to feature civilian boats.
• Before Patch 1.03 was made for ArmA 2 (pre-Operation Arrowhead), grenades that landed onto any part of the boat's model would emit the wrong kind of particle effects upon exploding.
• At ArmA 2's launch, the Fishing Boat (like all boats) would consume excessive amounts of bandwidth and server CPU power in an online multiplayer environment (this did not apply to Fishing Boats in offline singleplayer). This was fixed after the release of Patch 1.04.
• Heavily rusted shipwrecks can be found submerged beneath and beached ashore along some areas of Altis and Stratis in ArmA 3, though the Fishing Boat itself is not actually featured as a driveable vehicle.

The information below details unused, pre-release or removed content.

• Unused crew position proxies for the Fishing Boat exist in ArmA 3's files, though they remain unused since the model is not featured in the game as a usable asset.
