Southern California is in the midst of a radical fishing and boating revolution. While the islands, bays and coastline remain the same, what you can expect from a boat has experienced a radical transformation in the past decade.
Consider the following:
- Center console boats are bigger, faster and more system-rich than ever before. Regulator Marine
- Sportfishing yachts now top 45 or even 50 knots. Albemarle Boats | Hatteras Yachts
- Modern motor yachts now boast the range and capacity to make extended expeditions while being entirely self-sufficient.

What to Consider When Buying a Yacht to use in Southern California:
While the West Coast has many unique boating and fishing traditions, most boats used here are built on the East Coast. From the Down East style boats from Maine, to Viking in New Jersey to Hatteras and the many custom sportfish builders in North Carolina to the many sportfisher and center console builders in Florida, boat building by and large is an East Coast institution.
Our knowledge of and relationships with the East Coast boating industry is central to Kusler Yachts’ status as the premier brokerage on the West Coast.
It is our stated goal to find the right boat for you, no matter where it is located. Kusler’s process for sourcing and obtaining the perfect boat for your Southern California application can take the following forms.
Kulser Yachts is your source for all things fishing and boating on the West Coast and Mexico.

After purchase of the vessel, we can recommend (and source installation of) modifications to refit the boat for West Coast applications.
Common West Coast modifications include:
- Bow Rails
- Additional live well capacity
- Stabilization systems
