The Ranger is a classic 56-foot Westport sportfishing vessel built to deliver unforgettable days on the water. Combining timeless craftsmanship with modern reliability, she offers a smooth, stable ride whether you're fishing the protected waters of San Francisco Bay or heading offshore in search of your next big catch.

Originally built in 1974 on a solid fiberglass Westport hull, The Ranger has earned a reputation as a dependable, seaworthy vessel capable of handling California's diverse fishing grounds.
