The Boat – Head Hunter
Head Hunter is a custom built 41foot Steber designed from the ground up for chasing big game fish!
Next-Level Fish Finding: Upgraded with the Simrad SY50 Omni Sonar
At Headhunter Charters, we are always investing in technology that gives our anglers a distinct edge offshore. We’ve added the Simrad SY50 Omni Sonar to our electronic arsenal.
While standard fish finders only show what’s directly beneath the boat, our 360-degree omnidirectional sonar continuously scans the entire water column out to 2,000 meters.
Why This Means More Fish on Deck
360-Degree Live Coverage: We don’t have to guess where the bait or target pelagics are—the SY50 tracks school movements around the boat in real time.
Full Motion Stabilization: Pitch and roll compensation keeps our sonar picture sharp and locked on target, even when fishing in heavy offshore swells.
Chirp Signal Processing: Advanced Hyperbolic FM pulse processing cuts through surface clutter and thermoclines, giving us high-resolution detail to separate target species from bait schools.
Target Tracking: Once we spot gamefish, the system locks onto them, allowing us to maneuver directly into position for a spread deployment or live-bait drop.
Whether we’re hunting down fast-moving tuna, tracking bait balls, or searching for offshore gamefish, the Simrad SY50 ensures less time looking for fish and more time hooked up.
Experience the difference on your next trip.
