Hello Paul,

nice pictures yet again! he sport fishing boats are a-typical for the
Netherlands. I have never seen the 'scaffoldings' on any boat around here.
Probably to detect schools of fish in the clear ocean waters.

Thanx for sharing!

Yes, this is a classic sport fishing boat Jeroen.
They call them Tuna Towers around here. They are used to spot schools of
fish
and also Tuna, Shark, Swordfish. This one has the fighting chair to strap
yourself in
and fight a fish for a few hours.
In the 1960's and 70' they used to have the AtlanticTuna tournament here, it
was a big tournament!
They would bring in huge Blue fin Tuna and hang them up for everyone to see.
There are not too many left now and no more tournaments for them.
