A boat designed to fish for carp

Alone in the world

Fishing for carp from a boat is one of the many ways to find and catch this fish. This practice is one of a kind. It allows you to go to stations that are inaccessible on board, to fish as close as possible to fish but also to be alone in the world in wild and unspoiled places. On rivers that are difficult to access or on lakes where the level leaves few vacancies, being equipped with a boat makes all the difference for those who wish to reach the most remote spots.

Generally practiced by expert fishermen looking for new sensations in their practice, this practice may seem difficult to access. Indeed, embarking on boat fishing requires a financial investment to buy a boat and sometimes renovate it. It should also be able to store it. This requires knowledge of navigation, road traffic and adaptation to the various regulatory constraints of the place. Finally, we can observe that small pleasure boats transformed to fish for carp often have limited comfort and that most boats are only used occasionally during the year, that is to say between 5 and 10 times. All these elements represent brakes to be launched.

However, once the boat is on the water with the safety conditions met and basic navigation advice acquired, the pleasure is a real reward and within everyone's reach. By simplifying access to a Carpboat, we want to offer as many people as possible the opportunity to access the unique emotions provided by this way of catching carp, which makes each session a real adventure. Novice or experienced, everyone should be able to experience this incredible feeling of freedom and the privilege of being alone in the world.

The Carpboatier

My name is Alban, I have been fishing carp since I was young. It all started when I could see the dorsal fins of a group of carp enjoying pieces of bread thrown to the ducks on the water of my childhood village. Since then, the obsession with catching them has never left me and the possibility of seeing the fish before fishing them excites me even more! During the first years, I always looked for more challenges by traveling in France and abroad to explore different types of water but only fishing exclusively from the shore.

During some sessions, I was so frustrated with the inability to move to where the carp showed their presence while I was tirelessly without a touch for long days in a sterile post. In addition, storing a large amount of equipment to demonstrate mobility was not a part of the fun for me! Naturally, I wanted to find a solution to fish these posts where no rod pod could be installed and spend less time storing / disturbing all my stuff.

The discovery of the cabin boat seemed to me to be the ideal solution and watching several very inspiring videos from other carp anglers convinced me to take the plunge. All dreams were allowed. It is in this project that I started by fishing from a small boat then a semi-rigid equipped with an already more comfortable Bedbox. I was able to taste the comfort of a fiber cabin boat then finally of an aluminum boat specially designed for this practice. At the time, I did not find much advice on this subject to help me and as it is easy to imagine, I had some setbacks… However, they forged my experience and boosted my motivation by electrifying my passion a little more. Thus, I am keen to share my advice from my career and the desire that this practice be accessible to more people.
