1997 30 ft. Island Hopper, Center Console with inboard diesel, Open Fisherman
This owner customized the design of this vessel with the Island Hopper factory and was the first to incorporate a large center console with an inboard diesel and walk-around marlin tower. Specific to the owner's needs was the ability to operate and fish this vessel single handed without a mate, be as efficient as possible, and yet compete with the larger sport- fisherman vessels at the tournament level, or solely for pleasure.

"SUPER MARIO"
The design concept of the Island Hopper 30 was to produce an affordable offshore-worthy vessel that could quickly plane, achieve an economical cruise speed, and offer it's captain and crew a stable and comfortable ride. Her modified V-hull with sharp forward entry can handle most sea conditions, while her 3 degree deadrise aft and twelve foot beam offers extreme stability at both cruise and troll speeds, or at rest. Her Carolina bow flare and extra wide chines provide a dry ride, while the self bailing cockpit can handle any water intake that Mother Nature challenges her with. The 26" draft offers the versatility to inshore navigation as well.
Multiple cockpit configurations have been offered by Island Hopper, although Super Mario is unique with her broad center console, walk-around sailfish tower, and forward cuddy cabin. The spacious aft cockpit sports an above-deck live well and fish box.
True to it's design, the Island Hopper 30 has been proven through the test of time and
continues to prevail in a market over run with makes and models attempting to achieve similar results.
