Regarding world-class fishing boats, few names evoke the same reverence as G&S Boats. They are known for their impeccable design, unparalleled craftsmanship, and superior performance on the water. G&S Boats have earned their reputation through decades of innovation and a commitment to excellence. Whether you’re a competitive angler or a recreational fisherman, the G&S brand represents the pinnacle of what a sport fishing boat should be.
The G&S Legacy: A Tradition of Excellence
For over 50 years, G&S Boats has been at the forefront of custom sportfishing boat design. Founded by Buddy Gentry and Steve Sauer, G&S Boats are synonymous with meticulous craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. Each boat that rolled out of their shop reflected the company’s dedication to creating the perfect blend of aesthetics, performance, and functionality.
The key to G&S Boats’ enduring success was in their hands-on, custom-building process. No two G&S boats are alike, and every vessel is tailored to meet the specific needs of its owner. Every detail was considered, from the type of fishing to the location where the boat will primarily be used. This level of customization ensured that every G&S boat was beautiful and built to perform under the unique conditions its owner faces.
Custom-Built for Performance – A Fishing Weapon
One of G&S Boats’ defining features was its focus on performance. Every boat is engineered to deliver unmatched speed, stability, and maneuverability in reverse. G&S combines lightweight hulls with high-powered engines, allowing optimal speed without compromising safety or fuel efficiency.
The hull design of G&S Boats is particularly noteworthy. These boats utilize deep-V hulls that quickly cut through waves, offering a smoother ride in rough seas. Advanced materials such as fiberglass and carbon fiber ensure that each ship remains lightweight yet durable, capable of withstanding the rigors of offshore fishing.
Moreover, G&S Boats are known for their fuel efficiency. By employing advanced design techniques and engineering, G&S has created vessels that can travel long distances without frequent refueling. This is crucial for our anglers, who must cover vast areas of open water in search of fish.

Cutting-edge technology for the Modern Angler
In today’s competitive fishing environment, having the right tools and technology on board can make all the difference. We chose a G&S Boat for Tantrum Sportfishing because we felt it was the perfect platform for us to remodel, refit, and repower. We outfitted Tantrum with state-of-the-art electronics and navigation systems, ensuring our anglers can access real-time data and fish activity. New electronic Cummins 5.9 engines allow her to purr like a kitten with no fumes.
Integrating GPS, modern fish finders, and a Furuno Omni Sonar system provides our clients with precise navigation and unparalleled fish-finding capabilities.

While performance is paramount, Tantrum offers unparalleled luxury and comfort for a day boat in Kona. Our interior is crafted precisely, ensuring functionality doesn’t compromise aesthetics. From spacious living quarters to a fully equipped galley, Tantrum is designed to offer all the comforts of home.
Cabins are designed with both anglers and guests in mind, with plenty of sleeping and lounging accommodations, entertainment systems, and climate control.

Fishing-Ready Design Elements
Of course, no G&S Boat would be complete without a host of fishing-specific design features. Large fish boxes, rod holders, and live wells are strategically positioned to ensure that everything you need for a successful day of fishing is within arm’s reach. The spacious cockpits allow multiple anglers to fish comfortably.
Additionally, the tackle storage is second to none. G&S boats offer ample storage options, ensuring that our gear is not only easily accessible but also securely stored, even in rough waters.
