How long are fishing vessels?

Fishing vessels come in a wide range of sizes, from small boats only a few feet long to large factory ships over 100 meters long. Some examples of typical fishing vessel lengths include:

- Small fishing boats (e.g., rowboats, canoes, dinghies): Typically less than 6 meters (20 feet) long

- Medium-sized fishing boats (e.g., motorboats, skiffs, center-console boats): Typically between 6 and 15 meters (20 and 50 feet) long

- Large fishing boats (e.g., sportfishing boats, charter boats, fishing trawlers): Typically between 15 and 30 meters (50 and 100 feet) long

- Commercial fishing vessels (e.g., ocean-going trawlers, factory ships): Typically over 30 meters (100 feet) long
