A fishing boat is a vessel specifically designed for catching fish and other seafood. These boats come in various sizes and types, ranging from small dinghies to large trawlers. They are equipped with tools such as nets, lines, and traps to help fishermen gather their catch efficiently. Fishing boats can be found in both freshwater and saltwater environments. They often have features like storage areas for the catch, navigation equipment, and sometimes living quarters for longer trips. Many fishing boats are also used in commercial fishing, contributing to the seafood supply for markets and restaurants.
