Boat Review: Egg Harbor SportYacht 37

Egg Harbor has been building boats for over 50 years and has maintained its reputation for quality and performance all along.

Egg Harbor has been building boats for over 50 years and has maintained its reputation for quality and performance all along. The introduction of its SportYacht 37, the first in a new series of vessels intended to please both fishermen and yachtsmen, upholds that long-founded tradition well. Still, from the hull to the interior, there’s no doubt that this is an all-new Egg Harbor.

The completely new hull, designed for long, comfortable runs with its raised sheer line and enhanced flare, offers a soft, dry ride with excellent performance while conserving space aboard. The hull bottom, keel and chines are constructed of hand-laid, molded fiberglass, with end-grain balsa coring in the hull sides as well as in the decks and cabin top. With a beam of 13.5 feet, the cockpit features plenty of fishing space and room to conveniently store everything you’ll need. Additional features within the cockpit include coaming pads, transom door, boarding box and gate, a tackle center with sink, storage and an icebox, and fish box with a split hatch, livewell, and port and starboard stowage lockers. The cockpit also features a large engine room access hatch, an amenity normally seen only on larger sport-fishermen.

The flybridge access ladder sits to starboard and leads to an oversized cantilevered bridge, a key characteristic of the new SportYacht series, with a design that allows for two helm chairs with walk-behind space. The helm sits amidships and allows for excellent all-around visibility with full instrumentation standard and plenty of room for an extensive electronics array.

Belowdeck, the appointments include a fully equipped galley and a graciously appointed salon. The elegant forward master stateroom features a walk-around berth, while the guest stateroom features over/under berths. The large head includes a full-sized, enclosed shower stall.

Power packages for the 37 include twin 330-hp Cummins B Series engines, and 350-hp or 420-hp Yanmars.
