Description
Sea Lion ll has undergone a complete refit which started in January of 2018. Her refit started at the Willis yard in Stuart, FL for the first two years, concentrating on the structure, major mechanical installations, teak work, external bright work, fairing and paint.
She was moved to Whiticar Boat Yard in June of 2020 until February 2022. She has continued to be completely outfitted through 2023. March 2023 bottom and running gear repainted.
Sea Lion has two staterooms with a companionway bunk and 2 heads. Sea Lion ll is all Carvel mahogany plank on frame with an exterior fiberglassed bottom and hull.
If you are looking for one of the finest built sportfishing boats ever built that is still on the water today, look no further! This refit sportfishing boat is more impressive than most newly built competitors.
One can appreciate the true craftsmanship that she has received.
Many of us will know this famous Whiticar when she was named "SEA LION II" and owned by the owners of Walker Cay in the Bahamas. She spent most of her years fishing out of Montauk, Long Island, Florida and The Bahamas.
She has numerous historic fishing accomplishments from 1000 pound Giant Tunas to big Blue Marlin. Our 37th president, Richard M. Nixon frequently fished aboard her out of Walker Cay. SEA LION II was also part of the famous "Walkers Cay Chronicles". She is one of the smoothest trolling boats, along with her clean trolling wake and soft entry, SEA LION II is a pleasure to fish.
